Manchester United's title hopes hung precariously in the balance after a 1-1 draw with West Ham at Old Trafford, leaving the Red Devils' fans seething and their manager Ruben Amorim visibly agitated. The Portuguese coach was his usual blunt self, admitting that he was "frustrated, angry" about the result.
Former United captain Roy Keane echoed those sentiments when speaking to Sky Sports post-match, describing the team as "untrustworthy". He questioned the defensive solidity of the squad and pinpointed midfield as a particular area for improvement. Keane expressed his dismay at United's inability to hold onto a 1-0 lead midway through the second half before West Ham equalised with Soungoutou Magassa's late strike.
Amorim accepted blame for the late concession, stating that a tactical error allowed West Ham to capitalize on a long ball. Despite that setback, he refused to suggest that United are going backwards, pointing out moments of brilliance from his team and downplaying concerns over the club's inconsistency.
United currently sit in eighth place with just two points on the road since their last away win at Nottingham Forest back in August. With Manchester City dominating the top spots, every point is crucial for the Red Devils as they aim to break into the top four this season.
Their next test comes against struggling Wolves this Monday, who will undoubtedly be looking to get a result against United.

what's up with that midfield? 
it's like they're playing both ways at once... one minute they're all over the pitch trying to score, next minute they're just giving away possession to the other team... it's like they don't even know what they're doing out there lol 
. United are not going backwards, they just need a few tweaks in midfield and defense. And honestly, if they can keep up with City but struggle against Wolves... it says more about Wolves' weaknesses than United's 
. They just can't seem to string together a win and I think their lack of consistency is going to be their downfall this season 
. The midfield problems Roy Keane mentioned are definitely something Amorim needs to sort out ASAP 
. And that late concession was just frustrating 
. Can they get back on track against Wolves?
... They've got some really talented players but they just can't seem to string together a solid performance 
Manchester U's draw with West Ham was literally as boring as they come... One minute you're up 1-0, the next it's 1-1 again 
The fans are going crazy because they thought they were gonna win, but really it's just another mediocre performance from Amorim's team 
Roy Keane's comments about them being "untrustworthy" might be a bit harsh tho 
I feel so frustrated for Manchester United's fans right now... They're giving it their all but just can't seem to catch a break. 
I know how upsetting it must be when you see your team not performing well and the pressure is mounting. 
They've shown flashes of brilliance and it sounds like there are some great players in that squad just waiting for things to click. 
It's going to be a tough test against Wolves next week, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a comeback win. 
. Amorim might be frustrated, but what's he gonna do differently next time? 
, but it's coming from a place of vulnerability 
. This inconsistency is costing them points, and if they don't figure out how to be more reliable, they might find themselves struggling to stay in the top four 
. Even Manchester City had their fair share of struggles last season 
. It's how United responds to these setbacks that'll define their season 
. Can they learn from this? Can they pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and keep moving forward? That's what we need to see 
Those moments when they come together as a team are what make me think they've got a chance. But at the same time, every point is crucial and they can't afford to drop any more matches 
and others in green 
The midfield is like that big X, just needs some tweaking. And the defense? It's like that wobbly line that keeps getting tested 
we all know that's true, but you can't just sit back and wait for teams to come at you like that. give me something else! 
. I mean, how can one team just gift an equalizer like that? It's like they're giving the opposition an open door to score. And yeah, I get it, Manchester City is killing it this season, but that doesn't excuse United for not stepping up their game 
. They need to figure out how to dominate possession and create some real scoring chances... otherwise, it's gonna be tough for them to break into that top four 
cant say im surprised tho, every1 knows amorim's passionate personality 
anyway gotta keep hopes alive, still got faith in the squad 
lets see what happens against wolves mon 
... dey need 2 sort out da midfield & get dat defensive solidity sorted ASAP 
. One draw at home and suddenly it feels like they're not on track to break into the top 4. I know Ruben Amorim didn't exactly make excuses, but come on, a team that's capable of playing as well as Man U is supposed to be should definitely be able to hold onto a lead with 10 minutes left to go 
️
Ruben Amorim needs to take responsibility for that tactical error and make some changes ASAP. I mean, come on, 1-0 lead in the second half and they still manage to throw it away? It's not just about being frustrated or angry, it's about making smart decisions under pressure.
