#2 Flop: Christian Kabasele

Watford FC v Manchester United - Premier League
Kabasele struggled against United

After making an impressive start to the 2018/19 Premier League campaign, Kabasele failed to deliver against Manchester United.

Despite starting the game well, Kabasele found it difficult dealing with Lukaku's physicality and movement. The Belgian was caught napping in the build-up to the opening goal of the game and was awfully caught out of position during the build-up to United's second goal.

It is also worth noting that Kabasele played all United players onside before Lukaku tapped in from close range and also missed a golden opportunity to equalize during the last minute of the game, as he saw his header parried away by De Gea.

The Belgian ended the game with a pass success rate of 70%, failed to execute any long ball and won only one out of three tackles.

These stats highlight his struggles against United and the Belgian squandered a perfect opportunity to impress the members of Belgium's selection committee who were in attendance.
