Manchester United Fans Left Fuming After New Footage Emerges of Tottenham Goal
Manchester United suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, and new footage of the match has left fans fuming with one of their own players.
In the build-up to Tottenham’s opening goal, which was scored by Brennan Johnson, Manchester United left-back Diogo Dalot is seen marking the Spurs forward as he runs towards the penalty area. However, instead of closing down the opposition player, Dalot slows down, allowing Johnson to have a free and unchallenged run at goal to tap the ball in beyond Andre Onana.
The footage has sparked widespread criticism of Dalot, with many Manchester United fans taking to Twitter to express their disappointment and frustration. "I love you Dalot, but this is unacceptable," one fan wrote. "He can see his man, and he’s got the pace to easily close him down, so what was he doing here?"
Another fan added: "I need an explanation from Dalot and what he was thinking at the time. If my lad, who’s 10, didn’t follow his runner, I’d be worried about him." A third fan commented: "Subtle difference. Mazraoui keeps shoulder checking the man behind him whereas Dalot lets him run freely. That could have been saved."
The defeat was Manchester United’s fourth in their last five matches, and the pressure is mounting on manager Erik ten Hag to turn things around. The team’s lack of defensive solidity has been a major concern, and the new footage of Dalot’s performance has only added to the frustration.
Manchester United fans are right to be concerned about their team’s performances, and it’s time for the players to take responsibility for their actions. Dalot, in particular, needs to improve his defensive skills if he wants to continue playing for the Red Devils.
