There goes David Moyes, leaving Manchester United in his wake. Late goals from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus were enough to lift West Ham over Moyes’s old side and heap more pressure on Erik ten Hag after another blunt display.
This was United’s fourth consecutive game without a goal, a run they never looked like ending here. West Ham were stolid and disciplined but ruthless when their chances arrived during the second half. Their past five goals in the league have all been made by Lucas Paquetá, whose creativity is a key reason for West Ham now being only four points behind Manchester City, albeit having played a game more. United could only pine for a player of the Brazilian’s class.
