Crystal Palace slammed Manchester United in Old Trafford with a 0-2 scoreline causing a humiliation of the Red Devils in front of their home fans.
Manchester United Faced Another Defeat, The Bad Phase Of Ruben Amorim Is Not Leaving Him Causing A Threat To His Job
Disastrous performance and Manchester United are becoming synonymous in the present time as Ruben Amorim fails to gain balance in the team resulting in inconsistency and uncertainty, not only in game results but also in player selection. The first 11 of Amorim is unclear still now, it's looking like the Portuguese forcefully implicating a system that is not suitable for Red Devils.
Amorim’s boys failed to create chances throughout the game and made only 2 shots on target out of 18 taken throughout the match. Amorim started Mainoo as a striker in the game considering his last performance in the match but it backfired for Red Devils.
Amorim invites danger for him by experimenting with playing 11 with no outcome
Absence of a number nine was imminent throughout the match and Amorim was reluctant to put Hojlund and Zirkzee until the 70th minute of the game. The first half of the game was very dull with no important incident occurring. In the second half, a mistake from Onana made Crystal Palace take the lead in Manchester.
A lobbed free kick taken by visitors hit the bar where Onana misjudged the height of the ball and Jean-Philippe Mateta put the deflected ball directly into the net in a fraction of a second leaving Onana helpless in that moment. After conceding the goal Amorim brought the center forward into the game.
Substituting Players Backfired Manchester United Causing A 2 Goal Defeat In Final Minute
However, it was too late as Zirkzee and Hojlund both made no impact on the pitch causing concern for Amorim. Putting De Ligt after the injury of Martinez and Erikson turned out to be another defensive mistake as just after a few minutes of putting them the Eagles increased the lead, capitalizing on a mistake of defense.
Losing the ball in the midfield made visitors initiate the attack and with a spread defense line, Red Devils failed to get the ball from Daniel Munoz who minused the ball in center and Mateta scored his brace to secure his team’s win. After this match, Palace crossed Manchester United with 30 points whereas the home team has only 29 in 24 games causing a big threat to Amorim’s future.
