Andre Onana took a philosophical view of Manchester United's malaise ahead of his team's trip to West Ham United's London Stadium on Sunday.
"It will come," the goalkeeper confidently insisted. "Everything in life is temporary. It will come - if not today, it will be tomorrow."
Victory emphatically did not arrive on Sunday afternoon, as United slumped to a damaging 2-1 loss despite dominating large swathes of an oddly tepid contest.
Erik ten Hag's side started brightly, striking the woodwork through Alejandro Garnacho within the opening two minutes. But not for the first time this season, United failed to make the most of their chances, firing off eight shots without finding the back of the net before the interval.
Casemiro belatedly beat West Ham's 39-year-old goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski to equalise in the 81st minute, but United's goal tally stands at a pitiful eight in nine league games.
Fewest goals scored in the Premier League so far this season

Some charitable fans argued that the Dutch coach cannot be held accountable for his players' poor finishing.
Ten Hag 100% has his faults. But today, its in these players who are getting paid millions and cant score a goal 6 yards in front of them.

They let us down, massively.
Ten Hag has coached a win.
And this is what were doing.
