Micah Richards criticized two Manchester United players for the role they played against Brentford while the Red Devils were given to the sword at the Gtech community stadium by Brentford.
Brentford Heap more misery on Amorim
Freshly beaten to defeat Chelsea last weekend, Man United had the task of putting consecutive victories for the first time in Ruben Amorim for the first time almost nine months after his arrival. With 20 minutes on the clock, however, it was too familiar a story for the Manchester Club, because Igor Thiago struck not once but twice.
The opening goal saw Harry Maguire’s fall put himself on a tight offside call, while Thiago was fully enjoying it to sprint behind and shoot a huge finish at home.
As for the second, the attacker had a much simpler task after shooting Matthijs de Ligt, then at the end of the reversed backup of Altay Bayindir directly on his way. In 20 minutes, Brentford’s star enveloped his gifts.
The first goal of Benjamin Sesko United then gave a lot of hope to the Red Devils when he slammed at home at the third moment to ask half the first period and a return has certainly watched the cards.
Alas, this almost summed up in the afternoon of United, their season and undoubtedly the mandate of Amorim when Bruno Fernandes missed his second penalty of the season to refuse to United their equalizer at the end of the half. The international of Portugal, often so reliable, is below its standards so far this season.
The backup of Caoimhin Kelleher put the writing on the wall for the Red Devils, who had their misery compiled by an astonishing late strike from the replacement Mathias Jensen to do it 3-1.
Richards slams “Shambolic” Maguire & de Ligt
Among those who criticized towards Man United after another defeat, the former defender of Man City, Richards, criticized Maguire and Ligt as “Shambolique” for their actions in the two goals of Brentford.
“Shambolic! I always think that the system hinders them. They do not know where they are supposed to be. In terms of objectives, there were individual errors. Harry Maguire trying to play offside for the first-there is no point to play there.
“Then, for the second goal, of Ligt does not know where he is going, then Maguire does not know where to position himself. This is a 100% confusion caused by reading this system – that is not suitable for players there.”
There will now be questions asked in Amorim’s position, but it remains to be seen if the defeat at Brentford is the final straw of ineos. There is work to be done, which cannot be refused.
The next for United is the visit to Sunderland next Saturday. The defeat against the newly promoted opposition would be another bottom for Amorim, who must simply change things if he wanted to run his mandate to Old Trafford.
