"It is a draw that gives us sadness, but the way we competed was really good. It is a mix of everything - the need that we have and the work from the boys deserved so much more. We should be proud, and this is the way we must compete in every game like this. We should keep the standards, I said to the boys, and their faces are of a job well done. They hurt, and it is painful."
"Disappointed, all of us are to get this in the end. We had a good game, the boys worked hard, but it was not to be. You look back to the game, and it is always the final moments that you think you almost got across the line, but then get a big punch in the stomach. It is painful."
Tomas Soucek appeared to secure a crucial three points for West Ham with an earlier goal, but Benjamin Sesko scored a 95:11 leveller to make the final score 1-1. Sesko's goal is the latest result-altering home goal on record in the Premier League since 2006-07. West Ham have dropped more points from winning positions than any other top-flight side this season, totaling 20 dropped points. The Hammers finished with seven shots and 1.1 expected goals (xG), while Manchester United had three shots on target. Late counter-attacks by Callum Wilson were thwarted by Leny Yoro and Senne Lammens.
