Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat on the road to West Ham on Sunday, with
Honestly, what do United fans expect when the midfield includes averageness like Matic and Perriera? Mata been poor too. McTominay functional.

No guile. No risk takers. No drive. No energy. #boring #WHUMUN
Dreadful half of football. So slow and boring. It really is a struggle to watch United these days

Another boring first half from man united.... not even remotely surprised

Thankfully, West Ham's occasional genius
What on earth were the United defence doing there. Yarmolenko just runs around the back of them!
— James Benge (@jamesbenge) September 22, 2019
Great finish from Yarmolenko.

YESSSSSSSSS !!!! Yarmolenko you beauty !!! #WHU

MATA! So close! So so so so close. Should've buried it. TERRIBLE MISS!

Mata ... how did you miss that? 路♂️臘♂️

Things then went from bad to worse for United as their only available striker Marcus Rashford was forced off the pitch through injury.
With Anthony Martial already ruled out for some time and Mason Greenwood fighting off an illness, Rashford's departure saw Jesse Lingard lead the line for Solskjaer's side along with summer signing Daniel James.
At least no-one predicted Rashford's impending injury...
You can’t let a £75m striker leave and not sign a replacement. A couple of injuries have shown how short we are up top. If Rashford gets injured we have zero fit senior strikers. #mufc

Solskjaer's injury problems getting worse. Rashford hobbling off and being replaced by Lingard.
— Rob Dawson (@RobDawsonESPN) September 22, 2019
Now that Marcus Rashford has gone off injured, we’ve only got one fit recognised striker, and that’s our manager.

United chose not to sign a replacement for Lukaku, who scored for Inter again last night. Martial is injured (again), Greenwood is ill and now Rashford is injured. Could hardly be any worse. #mufc

The final nail in the coffin for United came with less than 10 minutes left of the match.
They'd already conceded a free-kick which let Cresswell test himself from distance earlier in the match, allowing the left-back to find his range and send his second effort straight into the top corner of David de Gea's net.
It was Cresswell's first goal since a free-kick against Manchester City in 2018.
Cresswell is wavey at free kicks
— Wedgeman Simon (@miniminter) September 22, 2019
That is the most exquisite of freekicks from Aaron Cresswell.
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) September 22, 2019
The first Cresswell freekick was so close but had too much power. So he came back, took a bit off of it to place it better. Wonderful. All thanks to Ashley Young making the most unnecessary challenge as well.

West Ham saw out the rest of the game with ease to pick up back to back home wins against Manchester United for the first time in over a decade.
It's a result which leaves the visitors without an away win in the Premier League since February, something which clearly went down a treat after the full-time whistle across each corner of Manchester United Twitter.
United have not won on the road in the league since February. Dreadful.
— Timi Okoya (@timiokoya) September 22, 2019
Man United haven't won an away game in 200 days. The last away win was against PSG. Embarrassing form.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs to be sacked ASAP! And he should be accompanied by Young, Mata, Matic, Lingard and the rest of the deadwood. #mufc

FT: West Ham 2 Yarmolenko 44, Cresswell 84
— Trequartista™️ (@grant_robbins) September 22, 2019
Manchester United 0
Another catastrophic performance by worst United team I’ve ever seen in 43 years. The players aren’t good enough & those who left haven’t been replaced. Still no away PL win since February & just 5/21 wins under Olé.
Remember all the excitement when #ManUtd sacked Mourinho and replaced him with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? Those were the good old days #WHUMUN

There will no doubt be excuses about Rashford, Martial, Shaw and Pogba injuries - and transfer decisions on Lukaku etc - but Manchester United had players on the pitch who were good enough to beat West Ham.
— Dominic Booth (@DomBooth19) September 22, 2019
Tactically, in possession and in the final third, they were awful. #mufc
