Manchester United slipped up at residence once more as Soungoutou Magassa’s late purpose earned West Ham a 1-1 draw at Previous Trafford.
The three factors that might have lifted Ruben Amorim’s facet as much as fifth within the desk theirs when Diogo Dalot completed well simply earlier than the hour however United did not see it by with Magassa’s neat end permitting West Ham to say a degree.
United, who misplaced at residence to 10-man Everton of their earlier residence fixture, do transfer above Liverpool into eighth however this was a missed alternative. Nuno Espirito Santo will take the purpose, his facet nonetheless among the many backside three however solely two factors from security.
West Ham, who’ve now picked up eight factors from their final 5 video games below Nuno, confirmed some attacking intent within the first half an hour of the competition, Casemiro having to slip to dam Matheus Fernandes’ low shot. However United pushed thereafter.
Alphonse Areola tipped over Bryan Mbeumo’s cross-shot, Aaron Wan-Bissaka cleared off the road from Joshua Zirkzee and Bruno Fernandes’ effort on the observe up shaved the submit. United completed the primary half with a season-high 25 touches within the opposition field.
Ayden Heaven, making his first begin for the reason that debacle in opposition to Grimsby, was withdrawn at half-time having picked up an early reserving, however the United boss maintained his 3-4-3 construction, after all. And it was his left wing-back of all individuals who opened the scoring.
Wandering into the field unmarked, the ball fell kindly to Dalot and the Portuguese defender slammed the ball into the online to elevate the temper inside Previous Trafford. However the truth that they had been unable to capitalise on it highlighted why Amorim’s workforce nonetheless frustrate.
Andy Irving swung in a nook together with his first contact after approaching, Jarrod Bowen received the flick on forward of Fernandes and although Noussair Mazraoui cleared off the road, Magassa’s slotted away the rebound. West Ham even threatened to attain a winner.
That may have been pushing it however they don’t appear to be a workforce that will probably be going through relegation below Nuno within the spring. The place Amorim’s United discover themselves is much less clear. Champions League qualification is a risk. However not with this sloppiness.
