#3 Lack of Chemistry
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had made several changes to the starting line up. A lot of players were forced to play out of position and it showed as the team seemed to lack any kind of chemistry. As mentioned on previous page, it was a makeshift defence.
The forward line of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Romelu Lukaku was also not in any kind of sync, as both Rashford and Martial like to play in the same role. Nemanja Matic was culpable for the second goal scored by Siggurdson as he afforded too much space to the Iceland international.
Fred was so poor that he had to be subbed off at the half-time. Then there is curious case of Paul Pogba who keeps blowing hot and cold. There were too many poor performances which meant that United lost five matches in a row away from home in all competitions for the first time since 1981.
