On Sunday 18th September 2016 Manchester United were dealt a
big blow again by watford as they were defeated by 3 goals to 1. The
game which started with man United playing in a 4-3-3 formation with
Wayne Rooney on the right side of the 3man midfield.
This was suppose to give man utd's summer signing and
worlds most expensive player Paul Pogba room to operate, Still felt
ineffective as Janmaat took advantage of a sloppy play by martial to tee
up the ball for Ettiene Capoue who got the first goal of the game in
the 38th minute.
The second half started in the same manner as the first
with the only change being martial who was taken off injured right after
the first goal and replaced by Ashley Young, who came on and put in a
good work but yet to no avail.
Manchester United however managed to get back through
Marcus Rashford in the 62nd minute of the game, And it seemed the goal
had somehow improved the way man utd played and it felt as if they could
go on to win the game but all their efforts to score another goal were
in vain and as they came out to try and score they were caught out by
watford who took the lead for the second time in the 83rd minute
through, Zuniga who had just come on for Ettiene Capoue.
Manchester United made another change bringing on Memphis
depay in an effort to atleast salvage a point from the game and with 4
minutes extra time remaining in the game fellaini brought down zuniga in
the box and watford was awarded a penalty and the captain Troy Deeney
made no mistake as he hit the ball hard down the middle to seal the game for watford 3-1
This happened to be their 2nd consecutive loss in the league and their 3rd of the season in all competitions...
Manchester United who were joint top of the league after the first 3 games are now 6points behind league leaders Manchester city, and find themselves in 7th position.

Although it is still early days in the league and there are
still a lot of games to be played, Recent results have left fans a bit
worried not just because of the result but because of how the
team has performed generally, considering the fact that alot of money
was spent in the summer to bring in top players, manchester United have
looked like a team lacking organization and leadership.
