An often overlooked Manchester United player delivered an impressive performance during the team’s frustrating loss to West Ham. Amid the disappointment of the 2-1 defeat, this unsung hero emerged as a standout, showing determination and quality while many others struggled to make an impact.

Manchester United’s struggles continued with a 2-1 loss to West Ham United at the London Stadium, missing the chance for back-to-back league wins.

Despite a dominant start and several missed opportunities, including Diogo Dalot’s open-goal miss, the game slipped away as Crysencio Summerville put West Ham ahead in the 74th minute.

Casemiro equalized, but Jarrod Bowen’s stoppage-time penalty sealed the victory for the Hammers. The penalty, awarded after a VAR review, was controversial, but United’s failure to capitalize on their chances proved costly.

Casemiro, restored to the starting lineup by Erik ten Hag, delivered a standout performance, contributing a goal and creating a big chance for Bruno Fernandes.

Over the 90 minutes, he had 96 touches, an 86% passing accuracy, completed all his long balls, and won seven duels.

Defensively, he made seven clearances and nine recoveries, showcasing his all-around abilities. Despite his efforts, United’s position worsened, dropping to 14th, seven points behind the top four. They now face a challenging match against Chelsea at Old Trafford in their next Premier League outing.
