Bruno Fernandes scored for Manchester United, and Casemiro and Andre Onana hugged. The Brazilian wasn’t able to see the spot, though.
With so few goals this season, it’s been very hard for Manchester United. On Sunday, they needed a penalty kick to beat Chelsea. Fernandes, who had been taking penalties for the team for a long time, scored the first goal by sending the goalie the wrong way.
United’s ninth goal in 10 games this season was scored by him. The team didn’t score in any of their four Premier League games. Three of those five goals came in one game.
Their problems in the final third led to Erik ten Hag’s firing, and the club didn’t have enough punch. Strikers like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have been hurt or haven’t been able to play at the level that they need to.
This season, Onana and Casemiro haven’t been partying very often. While their teammates were crowded around the box, they were left on the halfway line. As everyone at Old Trafford hailed Fernandes’ goal, they hugged.
Chelsea quickly tied the game with a well-placed shot by Moises Caicedo. This meant that both teams shared the points in Manchester. The Red Devils are now in the bottom half of the table, and Ruud van Nistelrooy will stay in charge until Ruben Amorim comes in.
Roy Keane is one of the players who has said that United isn’t playing well in the closing third. “Man United’s lack of goals is a huge problem,” he said. After nine or ten games, it’s hard for me to read the league table when Man United is down three goals.
Before he was fired, Ten Hag said it was a big problem and complained that his players weren’t taking advantage of the chances they were making.
“Not enough goals scored, not enough goals scored.” “That’s the issue, the main point,” he said. “Our team needs to score more goals.” I believe that everyone on the team has the ability to score. It’s clear. Even though we’re making a lot of chances, we’re not scoring enough.
