Manchester United's disappointing season in the Premier League continued as they suffered a defeat at home against West Ham, who secured their first victory at Old Trafford since 2007.
Despite United's recent success in the Europa League, where they reached the final against Tottenham, they failed to replicate their form in the domestic league. West Ham's Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen scored to secure a memorable 2-0 win, ending an eight-game winless streak for the East London club.
This defeat marked United's 17th loss in the league and their ninth at home, making it a historically bad season for the team. They have now gone seven matches without a win in the top-flight competition.
With this victory, West Ham climbed above United in the league table, leaving the Red Devils in 16th place with two games remaining. The Europa League final against Tottenham will take place in Bilbao, with both silverware and Champions League qualification on the line.
United suffered a blow during the match as defender Leny Yoro had to be substituted due to injury, casting doubt over his availability for the upcoming final.
To raise awareness for a charitable cause, United wore special shirts featuring the logo of the organization (RED) during the game. Despite making six changes to the starting lineup, including giving Amad Diallo his first start in three months, United couldn't secure a positive result.
In the match, West Ham took the lead through Tomas Soucek after a smart play by former United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Jarrod Bowen extended the lead in the second half, sealing the victory for the visitors.
Despite some late efforts from United to get back into the game, West Ham's defense held firm, with goalkeeper Alphonse Areola making crucial saves to secure the win.
