Manchester United has now surrendered 27 Premier League goals this season at Old Trafford.
Playing Manchester United at Old Trafford was an idea that struck dread into the hearts of opposition players but that was an old story now. Teams now no longer fear them at Old Trafford.
On the off chance that one considers this season to be a great one, the ending surely describes another picture. The misfortune to Liverpool yesterday night saw us drop three points again as well as a record that remained unbreached since the 1971/72 season.
As indicated by OptaJoe, Mohamed Salah’s stoppage-time strike was the 27th goal that the Red Devils have surrendered in the Premier League this season. It is our most exceedingly awful run since the 1971/72 league season where we let in 26 goals.

To make matters, even more, worst, just Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion have yielded a greater number of goals than United at home this season. Then, we have surrendered only 15 goals from home, a count bettered simply by Manchester City.
It should be noticed that 13 of the goals we surrendered at home came in only three games against Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool. The stressing angle is that had these opposition teams taken their chances to score more, it might have been such a lot more embarrassing.
The injury to captain Harry Maguire yesterday made a big difference as the backline looked dispossessed of prime leadership. It’s a well-known fact that United is on the lookout for another solid defender this mid-year. Given the proof available, it must be viewed as a high need of the hour.
The misfortune yesterday additionally uncovered our powerlessness to set pieces. Two of Liverpool’s goals came from dead-ball circumstances, inciting Solskjaer to request better from his group to defend more sharply from set-pieces.
Manchester United has now endured their 6th loss at home in the Premier League this season. It is our most exceedingly awful run since the 2013/14 season where we had seven losses. The Red Devils have now likewise lost more home games in the alliance than the last two seasons combined.
Solskjaer’s side will invite Fulham to Old Trafford on 18th May for their last home game of this season. We hope that it shouldn’t deteriorate any further.
