Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim watched again as his team labored to turn control into goals, ultimately conceding a late equalizer to West Ham and dropping two points at Old Trafford.

Clearances and blocked shots from distance were flummoxing United before Diogo Dalot made the most of a loose ball caused by a partial block and put the Red Devils ahead 1-0.
Amad Diallo and Casemiro were the stars of the show, and both players touched the ball prior to Dalot’s goal. Yet it was Diallo who was beaten by Soungoutou Magassa for West Ham’s equalizer as the Irons pilfered a point and looked capable of finding a winner down the stretch.
We’ll share all of Ruben Amorim’s words as soon as he speaks from Old Trafford on Thursday.
