Brighton vs Man Utd 2 - 1 I Man Utd's Missed Chances: Why Is Zirkzee Still Benched? #MUFC

Despite playing well, Manchester United's ongoing inability to capitalize on key moments cost them dearly in a 2-1 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium; We still aren't taking our chances when it matters most.

A major point of frustration remains the decision to start with a false nine instead of utilizing our available striker, Joshua Zirkzee, who was left on the bench. With Zirkzee ready to contribute, it's puzzling why we're not giving him the nod, especially when Mason Mount's role in the team is still uncertain. Mount had a decent game, but his fit in the squad is questionable, particularly with Rasmus Højlund set to return and likely take up the striker role.

This raises the question: why force Mount into the lineup when we have a natural striker in Zirkzee ready to make an impact? As we look ahead to upcoming matches, it's crucial to address these tactical choices to avoid further setbacks.
