After evading defeat in the Premier League for almost 3 months, Solskjaer’s United were finally defeated in the League by Arsenal. However, it would have been a very different game had United taken all their chances well.

United stuck the frame of the goal twice in the first half, from Lukaku and Fred. The Belgian, in particular, was guilty of missing easy opportunities in the game. He hit the crossbar with the goal and Leno at his mercy from a yard out.

He was then sent through on goal by a good ball from Rashford, however, Lukaku, after rounding off the keeper, failed to score.

The Belgian also had a great opportunity in the second half, once again with only Leno to beat, but could not capitalize. All the forward players failed to click on the night and United had to pay the price.

The inability of Solskjaer’s men to convert the chances that came to them cost them the game.
