West Ham United 2-0 Manchester United: 5 Men who were poor for the Red Devils

#3 Nemanja Matic

West Ham United v Manchester United - Premier League

After Fred’s Man of the Match display against Astana in midfield, the Brazilian was expected to start against West Ham alongside Scott McTominay. However, Solskjaer opted to keep him on the bench and started with Nemanja Matic instead, and the Serbian did very little to justify his manager's selection.

Matic was slow in midfield and let the opposition run past him with ease. He was also caught with the ball at his feet and dispossessed quite often by the Hammers midfielders. Matic was slow in closing down the home side whenever United lost the ball and was often guilty of ball watching when he should have been more proactive.

The Serbian was selected to provide a bit of defensive control in midfield, but unfortunately, he cut a sorry figure on the pitch.
