The captain of Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes, admitted that “everyone is aware” that the team is lacking goals and pointed to the ongoing difficulties that Manchester United is experiencing in their attack as the reason for their most recent loss.
The head coach, Ruben Amorim, selected a starting eleven for his team that did not include a recognised centre forward. As a result, his team suffered a seventh home loss of a terrible season against Crystal Palace, which was coached by Oliver Glasner. Shortly after the hour mark, Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the first goal for Palace, and then the French striker added a second goal in the final minutes of the match.
United, on the other hand, lacked quality in the final third throughout the entire match, and Fernandes did not pull any punches when he evaluated their performance as they failed to score.
THIS IS WHERE WE GO! Ruben Amorim is of the opinion that the board of directors of Manchester United should not sell the “untouchable star” despite the club’s warnings against doing so.
After the game, Fernandes gave an interview to MUTV, during which he stated, “We spoke after the games we won.” We made a statement that if we do not win the next one, everything that we have done in the past will be forgotten, and that is very much the case today. That we are in need of points in the Premier League is something that everyone is aware of. However, despite the fact that it is a different competition and we are required to win, we were not able to obtain the three points today.
What we lacked was a little bit of aggression to get into the final third of the pitch, and we also lacked something to score goals with. With the players we have in front of us, we need to have more goals and create more, as well as take players on and get chances from that. Despite the fact that we did have some opportunities, we did not have as many as we ought to have.
It is through results that you build, and it is through victories that you gain more self-assurance. In light of the fact that we have won the previous three games and that everyone was feeling confident, this is a setback for us at the moment. We need to realise that we have been doing some good things, and even today, we showed some good things.
“The outcome does not demonstrate that, but we are still capable of accomplishing a great deal by continuing to do the things that we have been doing.”
Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu, who had recently signed with United, were introduced to the public prior to the game. In a deal worth thirty million pounds, the twenty-year-old Danish defender has signed a five-year contract after joining from Lecce. Nevertheless, they are forming a partnership with a team that is currently ranked thirteenth in the Premier League table.
Due to the fact that Marcus Rashford, an England international, is not a part of Amorim’s plans, he is expected to finish a loan move to Aston Villa before the transfer deadline on Monday night.
