Manchester United Fans Turn the Heat on One Star Player After Loss to West Ham
- Manchester United failed to impress once again as they suffered a painful 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Sunday afternoon
- Fans of the Red Devils have resorted to social media to single out one player in particular after playing out a disappointing 2-1 defeat
- Statistically, United’s 11 points from a possible 27 place them uncomfortably closer to the relegation zone than the top-four race
Manchester United fans expressed their frustration with one player in particular following the team's disappointing 2-1 defeat to West Ham United at the London Stadium.
The Red Devils had hoped to build on last week’s 2-1 victory over Brentford but failed to capitalise on multiple first-half chances, with Diogo Dalot’s shocking miss symbolizing their struggles.

The game took a turn for the worse when substitute Crysencio Summerville put West Ham ahead in the 74th minute after Alejandro Garnacho lost possession, allowing the hosts to launch a decisive attack.
Casemiro briefly salvaged hope for United with an 81st-minute equalizer, but West Ham had the final say in the 92nd minute. Jarrod Bowen converted a penalty after Matthijs de Ligt fouled Danny Ings in the box.

Fans were quick to criticise Garnacho's wasteful performance, taking to social media to air their frustrations.
Fans slam Garnacho after West Ham loss
The young Argentine struggled throughout, registering three shots off target and losing possession 16 times, according to Sofascore, as United left the capital empty-handed.
@Hamzinhoo17 said:
"Genuinely don’t know how Garnacho plays 90mins every game when he can’t even do the basics , looks out of his depth."
@Utd_Wth_Sense commented:
“Ten Hag treating Rashford as a bench player and Garnacho as a star player. This man has lost his mind I’m afraid.”
@Alisdair_0204 added:
"Garnacho was really bad by the way. Missed 2 sitters, didn't create much, was at fault for their first goal. Crazy that he's the only forward who seems to be nailed on at the moment."
@UTDalext posted:
"Garnacho hall of shame performance, missed 2 big chances and now this sloppy play."
@Utddoja commented:
"Garnacho is our worst in the front 3 at finishing and somehow is put in all the best goalscoring positions it’s incredible."
