Noussair Mazraoui blasted Manchester United's inconsistency after drawing with West Ham in the Premier League, and he admitted football is regularly becoming "frustrating" at Old Trafford. United had the opportunity to climb to fifth in the table against West Ham, and the Reds looked on course to record back-to-back wins in the league.
Diogo Dalot scored at the Stretford End in the 58th minute to break the deadlock, but West Ham salvaged a point thanks to a late goal from midfielder Soungoutou Magassa. Mazraoui was visibly disappointed as he began his post-match interview with MUTV. He was asked, "Nouss, sometimes football is frustrating, isn't it?" and responded: "Yep, it's more than sometimes now."
After that blunt response, Mazraoui slammed United's failure to climb up the table due to their inconsistency, saying: "I think up to the 1-0, we really wanted to win the game and you saw that in everything. We were looking for the goal, a goal came and then we went looking for the second, but it didn't come.
"Then you see a little drop in energy and that costs you really badly. We know in set-pieces every Premier League team is really strong and if you lose one moment focus, these kind of things happen.
"It's really frustrating. It's frustrating because we get opportunities to climb the table, that's what we want, to be in a good spot for ourselves, for the club, and we've not been there for a long time now.
"And we disappoint ourselves, the club and the fans - everyone, basically. We don't make use of these opportunities. They keep coming, but if we don't take them at one point, you're going to struggle a lot.
"It's hard to find some positives after a draw. It feels like a defeat because you just lost two points here at home for the second time in a row, so it feels really tough."
United are eighth in the Premier League table, sitting on 22 points after 14 games.
