Manchester United’s defeat at West Ham results in Peter Schmeichel’s conclusion.
After the Red Devils’ Premier League defeat at West Ham, Manchester United icon Peter Schmeichel provided a harsh assessment of the team.
At the London Stadium, Erik ten Hag’s team was defeated 2-0 by the Hammers, ending their four-game winning streak.
The in-form Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham the lead in the 72nd minute when he bundled past Andre Onana after an excellent assist from Lucas Paqueta.
David Moyes’ team extended their lead six minutes later when Mohamed Kudus took advantage of a mistake made by Kobbie Mainoo and fired into the bottom corner.
Man United has only scored once in their past six games and has only won one of their last seven overall.
It goes without saying that current conditions at Old Trafford are not good. Schmeichel is unable to articulate the situation as he speaks with Premier League Productions.
The legendary Manchester United player thinks West Ham had a plan, followed it, and attacked when it was appropriate. But he doesn’t know what the Red Devils were planning.
Schmeichel stated, “West Ham had a plan going into this game, stuck to it, and waited for the opportunities.” “They took them when they arrived.
“You can talk about Man Utd’s plan till the end of the day, but I still don’t know what it was. They haven’t played this poorly, I believe, in a very long time.
Kudos to West Ham for their performance. This most recent performance, coupled with the outcome, will allay doubts about Moyes, who faced some backlash following the Carabao Cup loss midweek.
That is not at all like Manchester United. Under Ten Hag, the Red Devils appear aimless and without direction.
However, would it really make that much of a difference if he was fired and replaced? The team needs a significant makeover, similar to what Mikel Arteta accomplished at Arsenal.
The next week, Man United hosts Aston Villa on Boxing Day, while West Ham travels to Arsenal on Thursday, December 28.
