Manchester United started the first half well. However, their problems with converting chances continued. This led to West Ham coming out as a better team to win the game in the first half. The Hammers took the lead through Jarrod Bowen in the 72nd minute.  Just 6 minutes later, Erik Ten Hag’s former Ajax player Mohammed Kudus coolly slotted home another chance in the 78th minute to make it 2-0.

This is not the only time Piers Morgan trolled Erik ten Hag. He further slammed him on how he handled the Cristiano Ronaldo situation and failed to replace him last January and this summer.

Piers Morgan in his next tweet also pointed out the failure of the manager and ownership in replacing Cristiano Ronaldo. The post pointed out that in 30 games, the Portuguese star scored 18 goals for the Red Devils. But his replacements, Wout Weghorst and Rasmus Højlund have not found the net even once in 31 games combined for the club.

Manchester United’s two strikers Højlund and Martial have only one goal between them in the Premier League. Garnacho has scored one goal and Marcus Rashford has only two. While Antony has not even scored once in the Premier League. This sums up United’s attacking woes and why they’re far from making the top 4.

One take at a time

I can't express how deep my passion for the sport runs, especially when it comes to the English Premier League. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to understanding the intricate details of the game, both on and off the field. What's fascinating is that my beloved club is Newcastle United, and I've been on a rollercoaster journey with them, from their triumphant promotion from the second tier to the recent takeover and even their remarkable qualification for the Champions League last season.
