Manchester United\u2019s struggles at the back show no signs of easing, as the club has now failed to keep a clean sheet in seven consecutive matches across competitions. The run, which highlights ongoing defensive instability, has seen the Red Devils concede 10 goals despite securing three wins and three draws during this period, along with one defeat.<\/p>\n
United\u2019s concerning trend began with a 1\u20131 draw against West Ham, followed by another single goal conceded versus Crystal Palace. The pattern continued as Everton also managed to breach United\u2019s defence, raising early alarms around consistency and structure in the backline.<\/p>\n
The situation worsened in the high-intensity clashes that followed. Manchester United conceded two goals each against Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton, exposing vulnerabilities in defensive organisation, set-piece structure, and transitional play. Even in fixtures where United controlled large spells of possession, lapses in concentration and individual errors proved costly.<\/p>\n
The most recent setback came against West Ham last night, where United again allowed a goal, extending the streak to seven games without a shutout. While Ruben Amorim\u2019s side has shown resilience in picking up positive results during this spell, the inability to manage games defensively remains a major concern as the season enters a decisive phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
