Manchester United 0-1 West Brom: 5 Talking Points

5) Man United fail to replicate City performance

Man United could not replicate last week's performance against Man City

Manchester United produced a dominant second half performance en route to beating Man City 3-2 last week. Jose Mourinho’s men were first to every ball and made sure that the Cityzens had no breathing space to operate.

However, the Red Devils went back a notch against West Brom, displaying one of the most lifeless performances at Old Trafford in recent memory. The whole team started the game sloppily and were often reactive instead of being proactive.

This was a big departure from the Man United that turned up for the second half of last week’s win over Man City. The performance was totally abject and lacked the kind of fight required of a side looking to finish second in the Premier League.

No even the second half substitutions by Mourinho could help save the day, as replicating last week’s performances proved too much to ask from the Old trafford outfit.
