Man Utd concede 8 goals in extra time – the most in history

Manchester United’s late stoppage-time concessions are becoming a regular occurrence.

Manchester United will host Bournemouth in the 33rd round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season at Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, England, on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. ET. United are in sixth place with 15 wins, four draws, and 12 losses (49 points), while Bournemouth are in 12th place with 11 wins, eight draws, and 12 losses (41 points).

The top priority for United is to improve their defensive focus. The Red Devils have conceded late goals in stoppage time too often this season. On May 5, they were 3-2 up against Chelsea before conceding two goals to Cole Palmer in stoppage time to go down 3-4. We need to avoid repeating that mistake.

The numbers speak for themselves. “No team appreciates the value of a stoppage-time theater goal more than Manchester United,” The Athletic reported on December 12th. But now it is quickly turning into a major weakness for the Red Devils,” reported The Athletic. In the past, United was famous for its “fergie time” under Alex Ferguson. The term was coined because Ferguson’s teams would often come from behind in stoppage time to score a theatrical goal and win the game. It was a combination of the desperation of United’s players, who had a “winning mentality,” and Ferguson’s tactical prowess in squeezing a goal in extra time.

This season, the opposite has happened to the Red Devils, who have won many games in stoppage time. According to the media, United have conceded eight goals in extra time this season, the worst record in the club’s history. Even in 2021-22, which was a poor season, they only conceded four goals in extra time. Granted, many Premier League teams have struggled with late goals this season due to the length of extra time, but it’s still a disappointing record considering the games United have missed so far.

It started with a trip to Arsenal in the fourth round. Marcus Rashford’s goal in the 27th minute and Martin Ødegaard’s goal in the 28th minute made it 1-1. However, United fell apart in 토토 stoppage time. A poor marking on a set piece in the 90+6th minute led to Declan Rice’s goal, and Gabriel Jesus scored the winner in the 90+11th minute.

In Round 22 against Wolverhampton Wanderers, he conceded an equalizer to Pedro Neto in the 90+5th minute while leading 3-2. Kobi Mainu’s dramatic late winner sealed the win, but it was a game that could have easily ended in a draw. Against Fulham in round 26, Harry Maguire scored a dramatic 44th-minute equalizer to make it 1-1, only to concede a 90+7th-minute winner that brought him to his knees.

Mason Mount scored a dramatic 90+6th minute winner at 0-0 against Brentford in Round 30 last month. With victory all but assured, United conceded a 90+9th minute equalizer just three minutes later and had to settle for a point.
