United lucky to not be in relegation scrap
Man Utd are within the Europa League remaining however suffered a seventeenth league defeat of the season towards West Ham
Evaluation from Sky Sports activities’ Lewis Jones:
Man Utd need to be in a relegation scrap.
When you take the three relegated golf equipment out of the equation, Manchester United have gained one in every of their final 17 Premier League video games.
They’re lucky the hole between the Championship and top-flight is so nice, in any other case they’d be genuinely flirting with a relegation combat with two Premier League video games to go. In the event that they lose each their remaining league video games, they will not have even amassed 40 factors this season – normally the usual bearer of what you’ll want to keep up.
Other than the flashy toes of Amad Diallo, who obtained 80 minutes beneath his belt down the right-flank, this was one other dispiriting afternoon for the locals. West Ham carried the higher attacking risk, have been extra sturdy with out the ball and have been scientific with their ending.
United have now failed to attain in 14 Premier League video games this season – solely Southampton (15), Everton (15) and Leicester (16) have blanked extra.
But this group are one win away from taking part in Champions League soccer subsequent season. Somebody make it make sense.
