The Red Devils surrendered 1-0 when they visited West Ham United headquarters in the Premier League England continued, Monday, May 8, early morning WIB. The only goal for the host was scored by Said Benrahma.
This goal cannot be separated from De Gea's stupid mistake which was unable to anticipate Benrahma's shot from a distance of 20 yards. The result also made MU now swallow successive defeats.
Now, MU is threatened by Liverpool's position. Erik ten Hag's troops are still in fourth position with 63 points.
