5 talking points as Hammers end 18-year Old Trafford hoodoo


Fights West Ham United won a 2-0 win against Manchester United in Old Trafford and best condemned the team of Ruben Amorim to 13th place this season.

The Red Devils prove after the final whistle, directly over their opponents in the upcoming Europa League final, Tottenham Hotspur, in the overall aid.

How the game unfolds

When the early summer sun was reflected on the Old Trafford Pitch, the hosts in the opening exchanges looked all the more dangerous. Bruno Fernandes let a few seeds fly over the bar, while Amad Diallo forced a not completely convincing parry from Alphonse Wareola after cutting right inside.

West Ham seemed pretty good in the middle without being organized, but opened play creativity was missing. So it made sense that a decent opportunity for her from James Ward-Prowss free kick came up on the head of Maximilian Kilman and the goal was missing.

But when the early intensity of United waned, the door for West Ham opened to take the lead. The movement developed on the left of the hammer, whereby Mohammed Kudus drove into a dangerous position and fired a low ball over the goal, which Soucek was in the right place at the right time to meet.

After West Ham had continued, Ramsus Hojlund missed the goal with a few half a chance, a episode of Mason Mount’s long pass over the top that he simply couldn’t lead enough goalkeeper when Areola came out to meet him.

West Ham walked after half -time and landed almost a quick second when Kudus escaped the Fernandes’ attention to get into the box. However, the attempt to end the station prowse was weak and was easily collected by the grateful Altay Bayindir, which was used for the usual goalkeeper number one, Andre Onana.

Football can sometimes be cruel. When United thought that they had a cry for a penalty that was waved when Amad collided with Soucek and Vladimir Coufal, and Mount saw a decent shot that was saved by Areola, and quickly got her second game.

It was shabby and avoidable from a united perspective, but the hammers looked after little. Manuel Ugarte, withdrawn almost immediately afterwards, lost the cheap property in his own half and gave Kudus the freedom to go to the goal. The movement actually seemed to have been collapsed when his shot was blocked. At that time, the defensive figures predominated. But Aaron Wan-Bissaka was on hand to keep the ball alive and to find Bowen on the long post for a tap-in.

United reacted well, but it was too late and they were unable to separate West Ham’s lead. The replacement of Alejandro Garnacho shot into the side networks, Hojlund drove only far from the post before the dane saw a shot that was saved by the feet of Areola.

The French goalkeeper soon made a stopover from Harry Maguire, another replacement nearby before thwarting a Maguire knockdown in the middle of the goal in the middle of the goal. This late pressure on the search for at least something was continued in the last phases, with the teenager Harry Amass and Victor Lindelof being contested against Tormouth during one goal, but West Ham held.

Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers won this season in Old Trafford in the Premier League. It is no longer the fortress it used to be.

Therefore, there was probably always an opportunity for West Ham, which was one of the most common visitors of Old Trafford in the Premier League era, but have a terrible record in the stadium to join the club and to harvest the rewards.

Before the kick-off, West Ham had not won an away league game against United since May 2007, when Sir Alex Ferguson’s team had already been crowned a master, and a goal of Carlos Tevez ensured that the hammers had avoided relegation on the last day of the season.

While the Europa League was a largely entertaining watch this season, Manchester United achieved its longest profit run in the Premier League: seven games.

They have not won in the league since mid -March when a hopeless city of Leicester was the opposition. Other players against Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bournemouth, Brentford and now West Haven has come.

The last time that United went without Premier League victory, the competition in 1992/93 was in the first few months. The difference was that most of these games ended as a draw and the run ended immediately when Eric Cantona arrived in November 1992. At that time, the team made an excellent run to claim the title until May.

Ruben Amorim clearly leads his squad in such a way that the most important players are not steamed or injured when the decisive season final comes in Bilbao.

While there were no general changes here Gab-Bruno Fernandes, Manuel Ugarte, Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund, there were some obvious way of thinking of the Europa League, which behind the omission of Andre Onana from the Matchday squad and Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Patrick Dorgu and Alejandro Garning, on the ban.

Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Mason Mount have missed all big pieces of the season by injury and now need constant minutes to build their fitness. At least one – most likely amad – will probably start in Bilbao.

The concern is that Yoro’s withdrawal was the result of an injury at the beginning of the second half.

It is a small consolation, but in this terrible playing time Manchester United is still not quite as bad as Tottenham Hotspur, the team against which the Europa League final is to contest a place in the Champions League of the next season and the associated riches.

Spurs, who loses against Crystal Palace, stopped United after being finished in 17th place as a result of this game by West Ham.

Amorim and his players have to hope that this league position and not the head -an -head cord of this season, in which Spurs win all three previous meetings, will count for more in Bilbao.

Amad Diall

This was Amad Diallo’s first Premier League start since February. In the Fit he was one of the main sources for the goals and creativity of the squad during the Amorim era. In this case, this was recognizable again when United initially started in the early phases of the game. It was also the Ivorian who brought the game to West Ham shortly before the murderer’s second goal, while he continued to contribute to achieving further chances until he was withdrawn in the last ten minutes.

But two things are clear. He cannot do everything on his own, and he has not yet reached the game after it has been carefully introduced again in the past few weeks.
