Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes failed to score again as the Red Devils settled for a 1-1 draw against West Ham United.
No team in the Premier League has frustrated the Portuguese more than the Hammers.
Bruno Fernandes’ Goal Drought Continues Against West Ham
Bruno Fernandes was the standout Manchester United player in their 1-1 draw with West Ham.
The Portuguese playmaker completed 59 of 72 passes, created a game-high five chances, and had the most tackles (3).
Fernandes also came agonisingly close to scoring in the 28th minute, when his shot from inside the box was denied by the left-hand post.
Most chances created this PL season:

Over the course of the game, the 31-year-old took six shots, registering one on-target effort.
Since joining Manchester United in January 2020, Fernandes has taken 40 shots against West Ham without scoring even once.
This is the highest number of shots he has taken against a team without scoring as a United player.
Fernandes has claimed two assists in the 12 matches he has played against West Ham (W 6, D 2, L 4).
Everton Have Been Fernandes’ Favourite Opponents
Bruno Fernandes has played 209 Premier League matches since moving to England in January 2020. He has scored 64 goals and provided 56 assists.
Fernandes has faced 27 teams in the Premier League and has scored against 21 of them. Out of the 21, Everton have been his most favourite opponents.
The Portugal international has played 12 games against Everton so far, scoring six goals and providing five assists.
United have won six games, drawn four, and lost two times against Everton with Bruno in the team.
Of the ‘Big Six’, Chelsea have struggled the most to keep Fernandes quiet.
In 12 outings (W 4, D 6, L2), he scored four goals against them.
Man United’s next opponents, Wolverhampton Wanderers, are another side Fernandes has not scored against.
However, considering Wolves’ recent injury setback and poor form, there is a good chance that the midfielder will finally get his goal on Monday.
Roy Keane Slams Man United for West Ham Display
After the impressive 2-1 win away at Crystal Palace, Manchester United hosted 18th-placed West Ham at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
United would have entered the top five in the Premier League with a victory over David Moyes’ side. However, a frustrating performance saw them held to a 1-1 draw.
Diogo Dalot scored in the 58th minute from a Casemiro deflection to put Manchester United 1-0 up. West Ham equalised through Soungoutou Magassa in the 83rd minute, and the hosts could not find their way back.
Man United legend Roy Keane was furious with his team’s performance, saying they disappointed him every time.

“After they get the goal, you are playing against a team in the bottom three, they take their foot off the gas,” said Keane on Sky Sports.
“You are just putting yourself under pressure. Every time I watch this United team, they disappoint. They aren’t clinical; they weren’t nasty enough to get the job done.”
He continued:
“Show some intensity. It was all a bit, this is cool. You cannot be cool when you’re 1-0 up. Get the job done!
“Where is the frustration with the group players? I’ve watched the games closely.
“The lack of quality and intensity. They got two goals against Palace, but they defended like a pub team.”
The draw against West Ham has put Ruben Amorim under more pressure, with many speculating that the Portuguese may be on borrowed time.
According to the next Man United manager odds, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is the favourite to replace Amorim.
Manchester United are next in action against bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.
Wolves have only scored two points in 14 games and are 12 points behind 17th-placed Leeds United. The 20-time English champions are expected to register a big win against Rob Edwards’ side.
