[OSEN=이인환 기자] There are many different excuses.
Manchester United faced West Ham United in the 18th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season at the London Stadium in London, England at 9:30 pm (Korean time) on the 23rd and lost 0-2.
As a result, Manchester United failed to add points and sank to 8th place in the league with 28 points (9 wins, 1 draw, 8 losses). On the other hand, West Ham ranked 6th in the league with 30 points (9 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses).
West Ham scored the first goal. In the 27th minute of the second half, Paqueta caught the ball outside the box and sent the ball into the box. Bowen penetrated and received it and then scored with a calm shot into the net.
West Ham hit Manchester United’s net again. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Mainu failed to handle Paqueta’s pass, and Kudus, who caught it, scored with a low, quick shot in front of two defenders.
In a hurry, Manchester United removed Cambwala and Garnacho and brought in Christian Eriksen and Sergio Reguilon in the 39th minute of the second half.
Six minutes of extra time were given in the second half. United continued to create attacking work, but an offside foul was ruled out and the subsequent opportunity was squandered by Reguilon’s inaccurate cross. The game ended with West Ham winning 2-0.
Although it was a complete defeat for Manchester United, manager Eric ten Haag’s interview once again shined. He caused a great shock by justifying himself with a somewhat absurd statement.
Coach Ten Haag once again mentioned last week’s match against Liverpool and said, “We are not the best, but we fought well last week against Liverpool, the leading team in Reiss,” and added, “We must continue to show like this in the future.”
Regarding the game against West Ham, coach Ten Haag claimed, “We virtually dominated the game. We were leading the game until we conceded a goal. You can see it when you see the possession.”
He continued, “There are reasons for the team’s poor performance. It’s all because of injuries,” and added, “As more and more injured players return to the team in the future, we will get better.”
