Manchester United hosts West Ham in Premier League round eighteen. Coach Erik ten Hag was forced to rely on a reluctant center-back pairing consisting of 19-year-old Willy Kambwala and Jonny Evans, who was playing football for the first time professionally, after Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, and Raphael Varane were all sidelined due to illness or injury.
On the other hand, Willy Kambwala performed quite strongly and composedly in his Premier League debut. Conversely, MU’s offensive is encountering difficulties. Garnacho frequently moved the ball to the left wing, but in the first half, he failed to make two face-to-face opportunities.
After Antony’s excellent pass, Garnacho was unable to defeat custodian Areola in a face-to-face encounter.
West Ham had the chance to counterattack when MU was unable to keep up a steady pace in the second half. Lucas Paqueta lobbed the ball in the 72nd minute, giving Bowen a chance to get away and face Onana at the bottom of the right field.
Scott McTominay, a midfielder for Manchester United, was at fault for the team’s first goal when he failed to have enough time to close in on Paqueta in the middle, letting the Brazilian easily grab the ball and then flick it for Bowen to sprint into the penalty area.
The English attacker was initially going to go after the custodian, but Onana stopped him. Sadly, Bowen’s foot was struck by the save made by the MU custodian, sending the ball hurtling into the net.

Taking advantage of the win, West Ham added another goal in the 78th minute after Kobbie Mainoo made the error of losing the ball at home. To make it 2-0, Paqueta pushed the ball right away for Kudus to reach the penalty area and strike into Onana’s net.
Despite more than ten minutes remaining in the game, the home crowd appeared to be celebrating by blowing balloons all over the field, while the supporters of the other team slowly withdrew.
After 18 rounds, Man Utd’s winless skid now stands at four games and eight losses.
