“I’m furious with him right now, and I would have suspended him by now if I were the head coach. He isn’t as good as Man United: Ruud van Nistelrooy promises a harsh punishment for the ONE Man United player who caused the team to lose to West Ham.

Dalot, who has been one of United’s most consistent players for some time, raced through into the West Ham area on the half hour mark after a superb ball over the top from compatriot Bruno Fernandes split the defence.

The right-back ran onto the ball, nudging it past the ‘onrushing’ Lukasz Fabianski, and with the goal gaping, he had an empty net to fire into despite ever-so-slight pressure from centre-back duo Max Kidman and Dinos Mavropanos.

Van Nistelrooy ‘Can’t Believe’ Dalot Miss With ‘Head in Hands’

However, the defender somehow blazed over the bar in one of ‘the worst misses of the season’ to send the London Stadium home support jeering – and it left United coach Van Nistelrooy bamboozled by the miss, with Manchester Evening News reporter Tyrone Marshall claiming that the Dutchman could not believe his eyes.

Dalot’s miss will go down as one of the worst this season

Posting on X (formerly Twitter), the journalist wrote:

“Superb United move, Dalot takes it past the onrushing Fabianski, who is miles out of his area, then somehow fires over an open goal. Van Nistelrooy can’t believe it. #mufc.”

And to add to that, The Athletic reporter Carl Anka stated that Van Nistelrooy had his head in his hands after the miss.

Van Nistelrooy is used to tucking chances away for United, having scored 95 Premier League goals in just 150 top-flight games for the Red Devils and, naturally, he will be shocked at Dalot fluffing his lines so badly. That being said, the right-back is not a forward-thinking player, and he rarely gets put into positions such as the one Fernandes fashioned for him.
