Achieving one point against Liverpool helped bit Manchester United keep close points to return to fourth standings, current position Manchester United remaining six points from Manchester City and have focus achieving three points upcoming match against West Ham United.
Man United seem to have better luck with this game. West Ham will play in the EFL Cup on December 21. So West Ham seem to have a more hectic schedule and certainly maybe get tired. Man United should be able to seize this moment. Although they are going to the London Stadium. Holding Liverpool to a draw could also be an addition to mental strength for Man United. But I'm also worried that Man United will always look difficult if they meet a club that is not too strong. I think Ten Hag must get 3 points to be safe with Man United until the end of the season.
Despite managing to get 1 point against Liverpool, Manchester United's performance was very poor. They played defensively badly. If Liverpool could have scored a goal, Manchester United would not have been able to make a comeback. It is not always possible to score points by playing defensive tactics. I don't see Manchester United winning against West Ham unless their performance improves. If you want to get 3 points, you have to perform better. And certainly cannot be played with such a defensive strategy. As an opponent, the West Ham team cannot be called too weak.
With the way Manchester United is playing the season, I will not say that they had a poor performance against Liverpool because Manchester United has already been performing poorly this season. What do you expect from a club that Copenhagen came from 2 zeros down to beat to play against Liverpool? Manchester United's game against Liverpool on Saturday was one of Erik Ten Hag's best results this season.
