Moyes gives his verdict on why Manchester United lacked โ€˜edgeโ€™ against West Ham

David Moyes has empathised with Manchester Unitedโ€™s packed schedule this season and believes it played a part in their poor performance last night.

The Red Devils sustained a 1-0 loss at the London Stadium after a woeful error from David de Gea gifted the Irons the opening goal of the game.

Despite the narrow one-goal deficit, United never really looked threatening throughout the 90 minutes. There wouldโ€™ve been enough time to clinch all three points, given that Said Benrahmaโ€™s goal came in the 27th minute, but the Reds rarely came close.

It now makes a top-four finish significantly harder than initially expected, with Liverpool now breathing down Unitedโ€™s necks and waiting to capitalise on any further slip-ups.

Former Red Devils boss Moyes gave his verdict on their display, which was a complete shadow of Unitedโ€™s performances earlier in the season, and put it down to their fixture scheduling in recent months.

Up until their Europa League exit in April, Erik ten Hagโ€™s side had been competing on all four fronts, usually playing matches every three days in different competitions.

The Scotsman said post-match (via Samuel Luckhurst): โ€œI feel a lot for Manchester United. They played Brighton [and Hove Albion] on Thursday, theyโ€™ve had to play here on Sunday night. That two-day recoveryโ€ฆ took the edge out of United tonight.โ€
