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.

Starting with the Hammers, David Moyes has done his job and kept the side in the Premier League for another season. It wasn’t pretty at times, it rarely was, but that they came into this match safe was all that mattered.

Where they go from here is another story. Fans have voiced their displeasure with the board and, in turn, Moyes.

The former Everton boss said he was “delighted” with this performance, which will have left fans scratching their heads and wondering if they watched a different match.

“I thought the players showed a great attitude,” Moyes said. “Sometimes when you get safe you can slip away with it but they were at it the whole night. It was a thoroughly deserved point.”

Going through the motions to earn a point isn’t what these fans signed up for.

West Ham’s net spending over the past few seasons is minimal and the promises that were made to fans, about competing for Europe’s elite players and managers while striving for European football, has turned out to be nothing but bluster.

Moyes has demanded that the club back him and reach his level, which has been a few wins across various teams since he departed Everton or Old Trafford five years ago. But West Ham fans won’t put up with another season of this.

The stadium alone should attract the world’s best on the pitch and in the dugout. It will need an innovative manager playing the “West Ham way” to get the fans on side, but that shouldn’t be too difficult given the resources the club have at their disposal.

A win tomorrow, and results going their way elsewhere in the league, could see West Ham finish 10th. Every place in the Premier League is worth £1.9 million so, should Moyes and his side climb five places in one afternoon, that will earn them just under £10m.

The incentive is there when Sam Allardyce brings his Everton side to London, in what will probably be his last season in charge of the Toffees.

It could also be Moyes’s final match in the London Stadium dugout. Many inside the ground will be hoping it is and that the club go on to bigger and better things next season.

Jose Mourinho’s side needed a point to secure second in the Premier League. Given the standard of opposition, many United fans felt three points should have been easily acquired, especially given how recently neighbours Manchester City dismantled West Ham.

Instead, the Red Devils arrived with the mission to settle for a point. Settle. That mentality flies against what United have been built on over the last two decades.

“When the game goes to minute 70 or 75, you don’t win, you don’t lose,” Mourinho said. “We deserved the point and second position. When you are not ready to be champions, second position is the best available.”

But United fans will be asking why this team aren’t ready to be champions. Why second is the best available when the league title is the aim.

Had United not lost to the three promoted sides this season and beaten the likes of West Ham, that race would have been closer.

City would have still won it and been deserved winners, but the gap in points could have been five to eight points, as opposed to the 19 currently.

Seeing the former Chelsea manager take off a striker for a full-back in the dying minutes on Thursday night and then follow that up with a straight swap of defenders with seconds to go left many travelling fans bemused and fed up.

Those tactics are just about understandable in the bigger games. But when playing sides who are struggling to keep their heads above water in the Premier League, United supporters expect more.

That Mourinho lined up without a recognised striker and five across the back told United fans exactly what to expect over the next hour and a half.

Jesse Lingard had a few half chances to give his side the lead, while Alexis Sanchez and Luke Shaw drew excellent saves out of Adrian within seconds of each other. But that was the highlight of the game.

United’s Paul Pogba and Mr West Ham himself Mark Noble squared up in the dying embers of the game to finally bring the game to life; Mourinho joked after that the pair were hugging and kissing and trying to swap shirts early, but this game was played out like a charity match in the summer.

“The top four is obviously important but it’s better to finish second than fourth and it’s better to be second for months and months and months than losing that position and that control,” Mourinho said.

“We don’t celebrate second position but we are happy because for a few months, we realised it was impossible to win the league and, of course, the target is the second position.”

As United clapped the travelling support and hugged each other on a job well done, it certainly looked like they were celebrating second place.

The only way is up for Manchester United in 2019, though fans are right to question whether Mourinho is the right man to take on champions City come September.
