Man Utd Struggles Continue as Liverpool's Isak and Wirtz Shine

Manchester United's ongoing inconsistency was laid bare in their latest match, where they managed to secure a win against Crystal Palace but remain plagued by erratic performances. Despite showing resilience in the second half, Ruben Amorim's side has struggled overwhelmingly, especially with their defensive weaknesses becoming increasingly apparent.

The match at Selhurst Park demonstrated United's Jekyll-and-Hyde nature; after a lackluster first half, they rallied thanks to a moment of brilliance from Joshua Zirkzee. This win is crucial but raises questions about the team's ability to maintain a solid start throughout the entire match.

In contrast, Liverpool saw significant contributions from their recent signings, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, in their victory against West Ham. Isak finally scored his first Premier League goal since his high-profile transfer, while Wirtz showcased his potential, indicating that Liverpool's summer acquisitions may be finding their groove.

As the season progresses, both clubs will need to address their ongoing challenges. United must rectify their defensive issues, while Liverpool looks to build on their newfound momentum. With important fixtures on the horizon, the respective fortunes of each team will come under scrutiny as they aim to secure their places in both the Premier League and Champions League standings.
