Fans of Manchester United are angry about a controversial play made by a player during a goal against Arsenal.

The match between Arsenal and Manchester United on Wednesday night at the Emirates was one that left United fans feeling bitter. The Gunners secured a 2-0 victory, with goals from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba, bringing them closer to the top of the Premier League table. It was a disappointing outcome for United, and one that was partly attributed to a careless play by their own player, Marcus Rashford.

As one of the league's top teams when it comes to set pieces, Arsenal utilized their strength and constantly pressured United with corner kicks. In fact, they even had a golden opportunity to score in the first half, with Thomas Partey missing the chance to open the scoring from a corner kick. Both of Arsenal's goals came from corner kicks, causing chaos in the United box and ultimately leading to their defeat.

But perhaps one of the most frustrating moments for United fans was when Rashford, pinned down by Martin Odegaard, tried to clear the ball with a flick and ended up kicking it out of play. This resulted in a corner kick for Arsenal, which was then headed in by Partey, setting up Saliba for the second goal. It was a costly mistake by Rashford, who had been brought on as a substitute in the second half.

On social media, United fans were quick to express their dismay over Rashford's decision-making, especially in light of Arsenal's known strength in set pieces. Describing it as a "gift" for the Gunners, fans couldn't help but feel frustrated with the way the goal came about. Even United manager Ruben Amorim acknowledged Arsenal's threat from corners, stating that it was a known factor in the Premier League and something that his team needed to improve on.

Despite the loss, Amorim remained positive and gave credit to Arsenal for their performance. He acknowledged that they were a tough team to play against, with players like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka posing a constant threat with their crosses and one-on-one situations. Set pieces proved to be the deciding factor in the match, as Arsenal's goals shifted the momentum and made it difficult for United to regain control.

In the end, it was a disappointing defeat for United, but a well-deserved victory for Arsenal. And as Amorim stated, the team will need to work on their defending against set pieces if they want to avoid similar outcomes in the future.
