The 31-year-old Manchester United captain struggled to make a major impact over the course of the 90 minutes in the Red Devils’ match with the Hammers.

Diogo Dalot opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the second half, but West Ham found an equaliser against United thanks to Soungoutou Magassa’s impact.
