Double disappointment in east London as West Ham and Man United settle for a point
KADEEM SIMMONDS reports from amid fed-up fans at the London Stadium

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.
