#4 Flop: Michy Batshuayi

Michy Batshuayi was quite wasteful in front of goal

With Tammy Abraham not able to feature, this was Michy Batshuayi’s chance to prove to his manager that he deserved more minutes, but the Belgian failed to capitalise.

Despite getting into several good positions in front of the United goal, Batshuayi misfired all night before being replaced by Olivier Giroud in the second half.

While there is no denying that the Belgian is good for a fair few goals over the season, his profligacy in front of goal might adversely affect his playing time going forward.
