Manchester United Falls 2-1 to West Ham

Manchester United suffered a 2-1 defeat against West Ham, marking their fourth loss in nine Premier League matches, which has left them in 14th place. Erik ten Hag expressed disappointment over a controversial late penalty awarded to West Ham after a VAR review, arguing it was not a 'clear and obvious' mistake. Despite dominating possession and creating multiple chances, including a missed open goal by Diogo Dalot, United failed to convert, highlighting their struggles in front of goal this season. Ten Hag criticized the officiating while acknowledging that the team must improve their finishing, as they have only scored eight goals in nine games. West Ham's victory moves them to 13th in the league, while United continues to face mounting pressure. Ten Hag remains hopeful that his team can turn the season around, emphasizing the quality of their play despite the results.
