In the summer warm-up match of the Premier League, Manchester United 2-1 West Ham United is considered a morale-enhancing game. It is worth mentioning that B Fee staged a good show of scoring twice, helping the team beat the Hammers. This game is also the start of the Red Devils' warm-up match this time in the United States. The good condition of B-fee is also a multi-faceted benefit for the team's new season. After all, last season experienced a failed season, and the new season is getting closer, and players need to adjust their condition to their best.

B Fee is undoubtedly the absolute protagonist of this game. Just 3 minutes into the opening game, he grabbed Areola's mistake and calmly took the penalty and made a fantastic start for Manchester United. In the second half, Areola made another fatal mistake. After B Fei got the ball smartly, he shot a wonderful arc ball at the top of the arc, and the ball was directly at the dead corner, expanding the score to 2-0. B Fei's two goals not only show his excellent shooting skills, but also highlights his leadership temperament who stood up for the team at critical moments.

In addition to scoring goals, B Fei's organization and scheduling on the court is also very good. He can always find the right shot point in the midfield and connect the team's offense. In the first minute, he made a precise pass, creating a one-on-one opportunity for Hoylund. Although Hoylund's shot hit the post, this offense fully demonstrated B Fei's keen observation and passing ability. Throughout the game, B Fei was actively running, participating in every offense and defense of the team. His vitality and concentration greatly encouraged the morale of his teammates. After the game, B Fei said it felt good to win the game, which would allow the team to enter the new season in a positive way.

However, in this game, Manchester United's offense showed certain highlights in this game. At the beginning of the game, the team showed a positive offensive posture and threatened West Ham United's goal through rapid counterattacks many times. Although Hoylund failed to score, his impact on the front line should not be underestimated. The blast shot hit the post in the first minute and the wonderful cooperation with his teammates showed that he had the potential to defeat all sides in the Premier League. The running-in between the new player Cunya and the team was also relatively smooth. He actively participated in the offensive organization in the frontcourt and gradually developed a tacit understanding in cooperation with B Fee and Hoylund.

However, Manchester United's offense is not perfect. In offensive zone 3, the team sometimes seems too hasty to handle the ball and misses some opportunities to expand the score. For example, in the 48th minute, B Fei got a one-on-one chance, but his shot was saved by Areola. In addition, the team needs to further improve accuracy on the last pass and last shot of the offense. Although many opportunities have been created, the shooting conversion rate needs to be improved, which is also something that Manchester United needs to focus on improving in subsequent games. At the same time, Manchester United's forward relies on B Fee more clearly. If B Fee is in poor condition or suffers injuries, the team's offensive firepower may be greatly affected.

It should be noted that Manchester United's new player Mbemo missed this game because he did not reach the game. After he returned to the team, how to form a good cooperation with the existing offensive players and enrich the team's offensive methods is also an urgent problem to be solved.

In addition, Manchester United's defense has been tested in the game. In the first half, the team's overall defense was relatively stable, limiting West Ham United's offense and allowing the opponent to get one shot. But in the second half, as West Ham United strengthened its offense, some loopholes appeared on Manchester United's defense. The goal scored by West Ham United caught the Manchester United midfield defense error. Shotchek made a diagonal pass, and Bowen scored after receiving the ball. This goal exposed Manchester United's poor communication and lack of position during defense, and there was a large gap in the combination area between the wingback and the wing-center-back, allowing the opponent to break through easily.

New players Yoro and Havin got a starting opportunity in this game. They showed certain abilities in defense, but there are still shortcomings in experience and tacit understanding. For example, when facing some quick counterattacks from West Ham, the two's defensive choices and judgments still need to be improved. However, as the game deepens and the running-in increases, I believe they will gradually adapt to the team's defensive system. In addition, goalkeeper Baindir performed steadily in the game and made many key saves, especially at the last moment of the game, when he saved Bowen's shot, ensuring the goal was not lost, and making great contributions to the team's victory.

Judging from this game, the 343 formation adopted by Manchester United coach Amorin has begun to show results. On the offensive end, the connection between the side central defender and the front midfielder enriched the team's passing route. The frequent exchanges between Cunya and B Fei in the side midfielder position brought great trouble to West Ham United's defense. The high-pressure tactics were also implemented well, forcing the opponent to make mistakes many times, and B Fei's second goal originated from this. However, this formation exposed problems in midfield defense. When one of the back midfielders pressed over to participate in the offense, the other back midfielder had difficulty taking into account more areas, resulting in a gap in the midfield and gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

Amorin also showed a positive attitude of adjustment during the game. In the 66th minute, he replaced 10 starting players in one breath and made significant adjustments to the lineup, which not only gave more players the opportunity to play, but also allowed the team to try different tactical combinations. However, frequent substitutions have also affected the consistency of the game and the team's tacit understanding to a certain extent. With only three weeks left before the opening of the new Premier League season, Amorin needs to determine the team's main lineup and tactical system as soon as possible so that players can better adapt and implement tactical arrangements.

In the next warm-up match, Manchester United needs to further adjust the lineup and improve the tacit understanding among players, especially in terms of offense and defense details, and must be continuously optimized. At the same time, the team also needs to pay attention to the players' physical fitness and injury situations to ensure that they meet the challenges of the new season in the best condition.
