"We should have closed the game with the ball because the game was there to win. We knew that we needed to defend the advantage far from our goal, but the long ball, Bowen won the first touch and took it to the corner and tried to win the corner. They won the corner, and we cannot suffer a goal. The game was clearly ours to win, and we had an opportunity with Cunha to finish the game."
"I think the overall performance was not perfect. We had our moments, but we lost control in the game in some minutes in the first half and in the second half, especially after the goal. It is really frustrating because you look at the game, you have the game under control, and we didn't win."
Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham after Soungoutou Magassa scored an 83rd-minute equaliser following a corner rebound. Diogo Dalot opened the scoring just before the hour, netting his fourth Premier League goal and his first at Old Trafford in his 74th home league appearance. United dominated possession (64.9%) and registered 17 shots with an expected goals (xG) of 1.6, but only four were on target and Bruno Fernandes hit the woodwork. Defensive vulnerability from corners continues, with United conceding 15 since last season. The team struggled to maintain control after taking the lead and repeatedly failed to close out games.
