‘Wow’… Jamie O’Hara left stunned after hearing stat about two Manchester United players
Jamie O’Hara was left stunned after hearing a statistic about Manchester United duo Antony and Alejandro Garnacho following yesterday’s defeat at West Ham.
Manchester United were well-beaten at the London Stadium as they suffered a 2-0 defeat on the road.
It rounds off a miserable spell of form before Christmas for United, with Erik ten Hag’s men picking up just a point from their last three games.
It’s no secret that United have struggled in the final third this term, managing just 18 goals in 19 Premier League games.
Rasmus Hojlund has received plenty of criticism as he’s failed to score a single league goal since joining from Atalanta over the summer.
Indeed, Tony Cascarino has even suggested he’s a Championship level striker at the moment.
But while speaking on yesterday, Jason Cundy revealed a damning statistic about Alejandro Garnacho and Antony that may just explain why Hojlund is struggling to score for United.
O’Hara stunned after hearing stat about Garnacho and Antony
Speaking after yesterday’s game, Cundy revealed that between Antony and Garnacho, the duo only passed to Hojlund once during the 60 minutes he was on the pitch.
“Between Garnacho and Antony, between them, they played in the whole game one ball to Hojlund,” he said.
Jamie O’Hara responded “One?”
“That’s so bad,” he added. “That’s disgusting. No wonder Hojlund hasn’t scored. Wow.”
United have looked disjointed in an attacking sense and it’s led to an underwhelming first half of the campaign.
Of course, many would have expected Hojlund to have at least opened his Premier League account by this point. But the 20-year-old striker hasn’t exactly had brilliant service from United’s attacking players.
The Dane did manage five goals in six Champions League appearances. But Ten Hag’s attacking stars have underwhelmed on the whole.
Indeed, Garnacho, Antony, Marcus Rashford and Antony Martial have managed just seven goals between them in all competitions.
United will have to improve dramatically after Christmas if they are to be anywhere near the top four come the end of the campaign.
