29 September 2018, Premier League Round 7.

Manchester United away to Hammers West Ham United.

Before the start of the game.

Manchester United are already mired in all kinds of negative rumours of a general feud.

The conflict between the most expensive signing Pogba and manager Jose Mourinho has been thoroughly expanded and made public by the media.

Despite this, Pogba still started this game.

And winger Alexis Sanchez, who joined Manchester United with a weekly salary of £500,000, did not even make the squad.

Anthony Martial, who has an increasingly stiff relationship with Jose Mourinho, started instead.

The uncertain Mourinho this time offered a starting attack combination that had not been used in previous rounds.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Left-back: Luke Shaw.

Right back: Ashley Young.

Central defenders: Lindelof, Smalling.

Midfielders: Nemanja Matic, Fellaini, Scott McTominay.

Front: Pogba.

Forwards: Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial.

Just in the sixth minute, West Ham led the first goal, Zabaleta crossed from the right and Felipe Anderson who followed the back post played in front of the goal.

Anderson used a floral foot arrangement to block the cross with his heel.

1 to 0.

Although the slow motion of the replay shows that the ball is very much suspected of being offside.

But because VAR technology won’t be available in the Premier League until next season.

So with neither the referee nor the linesman expressing, United can only accept a situation of falling behind in the opening game.

Since then, although Manchester United have gradually controlled the pace of the game, their shooting efficiency has been too low, the midfield is misorganized, and West Ham United has once again seized the gap.

In the 43rd minute, Yarmolenko took the ball on the line of the penalty area and adjusted the angle a little and went straight to the goal!

The ball hit Lindelof’s body and refracted into the net.

De Gea didn’t react at all!

The score was 2-0 and West Ham led by two goals heading into the second half.

In the 56th minute, Mourinho began to make a substitution, replacing centre-back Victor Lindelof with striker Marcus Rashford.

In the 70th minute, Manchester United, who were still unsuccessful in attack, replaced Pogba and Martial with two midfielders Fred and Mata.

Just a minute into the substitution, Marcus Rashford scored with a heel from a corner kick on the left.

West Ham 2-1 Manchester United.

Just three minutes later.

West Ham United Noble made a precise straight cut and Arnautovic single-handedly faced De Gea against the offside.

Easy pushing.

West Ham United 3-1 Manchester United.

After this game is over.

Manchester United dropped to 10th place in the table with 10 points from 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

With just 10 points from the first seven rounds of the Premier League, United equalled the worst start in the club’s Premier League history.

Media such as the Manchester Evening News after the game also lashed out at Mourinho.

“Abandon Sanchez, superstitious horse factory director leads to defeat, Mourinho Jiang Lang is exhausted? 》

Manchester United’s worst start in Premier League history, where is Mourinho Road? 》

“Pogba and Mourinho have completely broken, who will go and who will stay? 》

The score was certainly not acceptable to Manchester United, but the course of the game made it seem reasonable, and Jose Mourinho’s side were largely tactically devoid for 90 minutes.

Chaotic midfielders, muddled strikers.

This is Jose Mourinho’s third year at Manchester United.

The legendary Mu Sansan, can’t he escape after all?

Mourinho knew it was time for him to change.

The “catch the inner ghost” operation is imminent!
