Hammers need to address issues
Alphonse Areola’s blunder cost The Hammers dearly this evening.
Dropping a cross before fouling a Man Utd player to give away a penalty in the first five minutes was an absolute gift.
It put West Ham on the back foot and they did not really recover from it.
They allowed Lukas Fabianski to leave the club over the summer and need to now strengthen in that position.
Red Devils off to winning start
Man Utd made a positive start to their ‘Summer Series’.
Victory and three points puts them in a good position in the mini-tournament.
They will also face Everton and Bournemouth in the series.
The Cherries beat The Toffees 3-0 earlier in the day.

Mavropanos goes on a run before threading a pass into the feet of Bowen.
He unleashes a left-footed shot but Bayindir beats it away from goal.

90+2. Man Utd will quite happily take this result.
They will not throw caution to the wind for fear of conceding an equaliser.
On reflection of the game as a whole, a slender victory for the Red Devils would be a fair result.
