Premier League highlights: Manchester United 1-1 West Ham – United dropped 2 points

An opportunity missed for United to go fifth. This is such a huge point for Hammers. Manchester United are so inconsistent.

It is hard to understand why Ruben Amorim keeps making so many adjustments to his back three during matches. He has done it repeatedly this season and it often disrupts the rhythm of the defence. Supporters will be wondering why he continues to tinker in tight moments.

Another huge moment falls to Bruno Fernandes and he cannot take it. A deflection sends the ball to him about twelve yards out, but he swings at it and sends it high and wide. It's a difficult chance.

Bruno Fernandes holds his head in frustration. Areola spills a save into his path but with a defender closing fast he slices the chance badly and the moment is gone. It was Casemiro who found space in the right side of the box.

Can United find the winner from somewhere?

West Ham send on defender Maximilian Kilman in place of Callum Wilson as they look to protect the point.
Manchester United also adjust at the back with Lisandro Martinez coming on for Luke Shaw.

Manchester United 1-1 West Ham

Soungoutou Magassa gets his first West Ham goal and what a moment to get it.

Jarrod Bowen glances a header from a corner and Mazraoui produces a superb goal line clearance to keep it out, but the rebound drops straight to Magassa. He reacts quickest and sweeps it into an almost empty net. United are punished.

A cross from Dorgu and Bruno's header went straight into Arealo's hands. Difficult to beat the keeper from that range with a header.

(81 mins Manchester United 1 West Ham 0)

Brilliant Aaron Wan-Bissaka tackle on Patrick Dorgu in the box. He has had few of them tonight.

(80 mins Manchester United 1 West Ham 0)

Mason Mount's first action is to clip the ball around Aaron Wan-Bissaka and get smashed. The West Ham defender is booked.

Manchester United turn to the bench. Lisandro Martinez comes on for only his second appearance since February and Mason Mount also joins the action. Matheus Cunha and Joshua Zirkzee make way

(76 mins United 1 West Ham 0)

Jean Clair Todibo briefly sticks a leg out before pulling it away, and Bryan Mbeumo goes to ground looking for contact. The referee is unmoved and that's the right thing to do.

(72 mins United 1 West Ham 0)

Diogo Dalot becomes the fourth Portuguese player to score a Premier League goal for Manchester United at Old Trafford. He joins Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Nani.

(70 mins United 1 West Ham 0)

Jarrod Bowen races onto a through ball and enters the box but Luke Shaw does well to shepherd him away from goal. Bowen lays it off to Freddie Potts who lets fly, only for Casemiro to step in with another important block.

(69 mins United 1 West Ham 0)

As it stands, Manchester United move up to fifth which keeps a Champions League place in sight. West Ham remain in the bottom three and the pressure on them only grows.

(67 mins United 1 West Ham 0)

That finish marks a personal milestone for Diogo Dalot. It is his first Premier League goal at Old Trafford, with all three of his previous league goals coming away from home.

(60 mins United 1 West Ham 0)

Casemiro’s shot takes a deflection and falls kindly into the path of Dalot inside the box. He controls it calmly and guides a tidy finish into the corner. There is a slice of luck about it but United will not mind one bit.

(59 mins Manchester United 1 West Ham 0)

United work the corner short and it reaches Bryan Mbeumo in space inside the area. His low strike is headed for goal but crashes into a crowd of West Ham defenders. The rebound drops to Luke Shaw who fires over, though the flag is up against him. Mbeumo’s effort would have stood had it found the net. That was not dealt well by the Hammers

(56 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Bruno swings in a free kick from the right but West Ham stand firm again. Their defensive organisation has been excellent all evening

(54 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Manchester United have not found any flow since the restart

(50 mins Manchester United 0 West ham 0)

Who will score first?

Leny Yoro comes on for Ayden Heaven at the break. The youngster was booked earlier and United clearly did not want to risk a second yellow in a tight game.

Man United have only gone on to win 1 of their previous 4 PL home games under Ruben Amorim that have been 0-0 at half-time.

Hammers have lost just one of their last nine away Premier League games that have been goalless at the break.

Manchester United have only gone on to win just one of their previous four Premier League home games under Ruben Amorim that have been 0-0 at half time (D1 L2).

Ruben Amorim will not have enjoyed the opening twenty five minutes, but he will be pleased with how United lifted their level in the final stretch of the half. The message at the break will be simple. Keep that same pace and intensity from the first whistle of the second half.

After a slow and shaky start, United are finally building some rhythm. Crosses are flooding into the box and the tempo has lifted, but West Ham have dealt well with everything in the air. Their set piece defending has been solid too.

(42 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Another huge moment from Wan Bissaka. Amad sends a teasing ball into the box from the right half space and it looks dangerous, but Wan Bissaka rises and meets it with a superb header. He is playing like a man on a mission. United are starting to look really dangerous now.

(38 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Jarrod Bowen dances past a couple of challenges and keeps his balance somehow before getting a shot away. It takes a slight deflection but Lammens reacts well and gathers it safely. That deflection actually made it easy for the keeper.

(36 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

A superb recovery from Wan Bissaka stops Cunha just as he is about to pull the trigger. United players shout for a penalty but there is nothing in it. That is classic Wan Bissaka timing. He wins the ball clean.

(33 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Callum Wilson appeals loudly for a handball against Luke Shaw, but Shaw’s arm is tucked in and right in front of his body. No chance of a decision there and play continues without delay.

United come inches from scoring in a frantic spell. Amad Diallo does brilliantly on the right side of the area, beats his man and cuts the ball back. Zirkzee tries to guide it goalward with his hip we think but Wan Bissaka is on the line to clear. What a clearance that was !!

The rebound pops up and a bicycle kick attempt is blocked, then another rebound falls to Bruno whose volley clips the post. A crazy few seconds that somehow ends without the net moving.

(27 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Finally some life from United. Bruno makes a clever run in behind the West Ham defence and forces a corner. They work it short and the ball reaches Mbeumo in the right half space. His looping effort looks awkward for the keeper but Areola parried it away for another corner.

Resulting corner has been defended.

(25 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Manchester United have been sloppy so far and there is no real intensity in their play. It feels very similar to how they opened against Crystal Palace over the weekend. Not good enough for a home match they simply cannot afford to drift through.

(22 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

A West Ham corner causes trouble. Bruno’s clearance is tame and drops straight to Diouf inside the box. He lashes at it but sends the effort wide. A clear chance wasted for the visitors.

(19 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

United are finding it tough in the middle of the pitch where they are outnumbered two against three once again. West Ham look sharper, stronger and more settled. They have been the better side so far.

(17 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Ayden Heaven's 8th minute booking was the earliest yellow by a Manchester United player in a Premier League home game since Luke Shaw in April 2022

United fans roar again as Bruno Fernandes goes down after Tomas Soucek dives himself in front of the shot. Soucek simply blocks the strike and the officials wave away the appeals without hesitation.

Bruno is adamant but there is nothing in it

(10 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Not the start young Ayden Heaven hoped for. He dives in on Jarrod Bowen and mistimes the challenge, leaving the referee with an easy decision. The yellow card comes out and it's not the start he was hoping for.

(8 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

First real chance for West Ham as Wan Bissaka bursts in behind the United line on the right hand side and pulls the ball back perfectly. Fernandes meets it with a firm hit and it looks dangerous, but Casemiro steps in with a superb block to keep United level.

(6 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

The home fans rise as Amad Diallo goes down after feeling Mateus Fernandes place a hand on his back. United appeal loudly but there is nothing in it. Nowhere near enough contact for a penalty and the officials wave play on without hesitation.

Good refereeing there. Amad was trying to con the ref there

(4 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

De Ligt missing in defence is a major blow for United, but this is a real chance for young Heaven to show he belongs at this level. Having Cunha available in attack helps. He has that x factor in him.

(2 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

West Ham did the league double over United last season and caused all sorts of problems, but this feels very different. A lot has changed since then and this West Ham side is really struggling for rhythm and confidence. The question is whether they can still find a way to trouble United tonight.

(1 mins United 0 West Ham 0)

Callum Wilson reaches a fine milestone tonight as he plays his 250th match. The question now is whether he can make it memorable at Old Trafford by finding the net for West Ham.

Man United have lost four of their five Premier League games against West Ham, more than they had in their previous 28 against the Hammers.
