Manchester United Let Lead Slip in 1-1 Draw With West Ham at Old Trafford

The fallout centers on fragile set-piece defending alongside a lack of reliable attackers.

Overview

  • Diogo Dalot put United ahead on 58 minutes before Soungoutou Magassa struck an 83rd‑minute equaliser from a set-piece rebound.
  • United sit eighth on 22 points after missing a chance to climb toward the top five, extending a run of one win in five league games.
  • Roy Keane castigated United’s mentality on Sky Sports, calling them frightened and not nasty enough and saying they defended like a pub team, as boos greeted full-time.
  • Ruben Amorim said he was frustrated and angry, blamed lost second balls and the decisive corner, rejected claims of regression, and scheduled a player debrief.
  • Nuno Espirito Santo said West Ham were in control after conceding and deserved the draw, while local analysis highlighted thin attacking depth and suggested a January move for a centre-forward, with Wolves away up next on Monday.
