Manchester United’s hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League took a major blow as they were defeated 3-2 by West Ham on Tuesday night.
The Reds now need to beat Bournemouth on Sunday and hope Manchester City lose to Swansea to stand a chance of finishing fourth.
United had gone behind to the Hammers in the first half when Diafra Sakho’s shot from inside the area deflected in off Daley Blind, and the Reds were lucky not to be losing by more as the first half came to an end.
Michael Carrick came on at the break and that seemed to help the Reds as Anthony Martial scored a brace in the opening moments of the half, but that was quickly overturned by headed goals from Michail Antonio and Winston Reid late in the game.
It was a disappointing performance from the Reds in a match they desperately needed to win, so let’s take a look at our player ratings from Tuesday’s encounter:
