Erik ten Hag refused to single out Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot after he missed an open goal in their defeat at West Ham.
Dalot ran onto Bruno Fernandes’s defence-splitting pass, knocked the ball past goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski but larruped the ball high and wide from 10 yards out with the game goalless. Dalot’s errant finish typified United’s blunt first half performance.
Alejandro Garnacho hit the crossbar and struck wide from a one-on-one, Bruno Fernandes skied a free header, Marcus Rashford wasted a presentable opening and Rasmus Hojlund was denied by Fabianski.
“I can also say Alejandro Garnacho, twice Rasmus Hojlund one time, (Marcus) Rashford, Bruno the header, so it is not fair to pick one of the players out who missed a chance,” Ten Hag said. “No, there were so many who missed chances.
