Worse than Seshko! Lukesha becomes Manchester United s number one sinner. Amorin stops using him

After losing to Manchester City 0-3 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, Manchester United only scored 4 points in the first four rounds of the Premier League, temporarily ranking 14th in the Premier League. After spending more than 200 million yuan to strengthen the lineup this summer, Manchester United's ranking has not improved significantly. Facing Manchester City, the Red Devils were almost at a disadvantage: Foden scored the first record and Haaland scored twice. In the end, he lost the game 0-3.

In this game, due to the injuries of Cunya, Mount and others, Amorin finally sent Xie Shikho to start in the starting lineup. As the bet of Manchester United's summer window, Xie Shik's performance in this game is average. The Slovenian international won't be willing to recall the game - his teammates have barely provided him with any support.

In the whole game, Seshko played for 80 minutes, with only 20 touches and 1 shot (just hit Donnarumma). As the fulcrum of the No. 9 position, he won only three times in 8 matches. Former Premier League MVP winner Ruben Dias watched him firmly. However, Scheshko is far from the worst Manchester United player on the field. After all, he has "exhausted ammunition and food" and has not received much support; the one who really competes for the "worst" title is Luke Shaw.

The England international played the left central defender in Amorin's 3-4-2-1, with Dorgu in front of him and De Rigt on the right. His performance is more disastrous than Seschko, and it can even be said to be the worst in the game - Manchester City's three goals are to blame.

During Sky Sports live broadcast, Gary Neville commented on Manchester United's first goal loss: "Doku's passing Lukesha is like a wooden stake, and Shaw's condition is completely unavailable"; when Haaland's first goal, Neville repeated: "He is still nowhere near it (even the side is not touched)." The third goal is even more embarrassing: Lukesha stopped the ball, made consecutive mistakes in passing, and directly put Maguire on the fire, Haaland locked in the victory alone. 90 minutes of the game, Lukesha only won 2 confrontations, and the rest of the data was almost blank, which could not make up for the impact of three fatal mistakes. Manchester United's second goal conceded is a "representative work": Haaland penetrated from behind De Rigt, and Lukesha neither predicted nor chased back, watching the opponent score. His starting 90 minutes of sleepwalking almost the whole game, and his performance was disappointing.

Lukeshau's defeated performance should be "operated" than the isolated Sheshko - against Chelsea on the weekend, Amorin must kick him out of the starter. Ideally, Amorin should play in four defenders instead and remove Lukesha to increase the number of midfielders; but the Portuguese failed repeatedly but did not change the team, and they may still stick to the three central defenders. If this is true, either Maguire will return or let 18-year-old left-footed Aiden Haven take over, and in short, Lukeshaw can no longer continue to "sleepwalking".
