Willy Kambwala, a Manchester United graduate, made a decent senior start against West Ham United on Saturday in the Premier League, losing 2-0.

With Raphael Varane sidelined due to sickness, the 19-year-old was a surprise starter in the middle of the defence with Jonny Evans.

The young player got off to a bold and daring start, eventually settling into the game. The ball at his feet seemed to fit him well.

The youthful player completed 75 of his 89 passes throughout his 92 touches in 84 minutes. He made three clearances and successfully delivered two long balls.

The 6′ 4in star should be starting again because, in our judgement, he had nothing to do with either of the goals given up.

United doesn’t have time to consider the outcome. On Boxing Day, they’ll play again, this time against Aston Villa, who are third in the league right now.

The Red Devils have failed to score in more than six hours, but when Unai Emery’s team visits Old Trafford, they must put a stop to the appalling streak.

At the London Stadium earlier today, Alejandro Garnacho had a fantastic opportunity to start the scoring; the players need to be more efficient in front of goal.

With eight points separating the team from the top four, Tuesday’s matchup seems to be a must-win. Ten Hag’s future may come into doubt if there is yet another unfavourable outcome.

In the meanwhile, if Varane is judged unfit to play against Villa, Kambwala may be back in the starting lineup. The Frenchman’s return to the mix is something the supporters will be cheering for.
