IT’S rare two sets of fans leave a stadium in agreement but that’s exactly what happened on Thursday night. First, both Manchester United and West Ham supporters agreed that the 90 minutes they watched was turgid.

Second, it’s fair to say a change in the dugout, for both teams, is wanted by everyone who was inside the stadium.
