Manchester United vs West Ham LIVE!
West Ham leapfrogged Manchester United in the Premier League table on Sunday after battling to a 2-0 win at Old Trafford. It was among their best performances since manager Graham Potter’s arrival, with a clear tactical vision starting to emerge as the Hammers defended doggedly and attacked with incisive pace.
The goals came either side of the halftime break thanks to Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen, two simple finishes bookending clinical attacking moves. Aaron Wan-Bissaka played a key role in both on his return to Old Trafford, feeding Mohammed Kudus in behind to set up the opener before assisting the second himself.
Ultimately, it marks another knock to Man United’s momentum ahead of the Europa League final, which is now less than two weeks away, though he will take some comfort from the fact that fellow finalists Tottenham were also beaten. He was also forced to substitute Leny Yoro in the second half with an injury, another knock to his European prospects. The dearth between United’s continental and domestic form, though, will once again raise questions. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog!
