AMORIM'S HAMMERED

Ruben is left red-faced as United are stunned by Nuno's strugglers

- BY ANDY DUNN

RUBEN AMORIM has had plenty of set-piece disasters to analyse with his coaching staff over the time he has been at Old Trafford but this one was a belter.

It was Soungoutou Magassa who finished calmly to give West Ham a deserved share of the spoils but the chance came after Noussair Mazraoui had been forced to make a goal-line clearance because a visiting player had towered above the home defence to power in a header from a corner.

And that player? The colossus that is Jarrod Bowen.

Amorim's team and Amorim's defence really do keep finding new ways of tossing away winning opportunities.

Not that this was an overall performance that merited a victory. It was a performance that was sluggish from the outset.

Young Ayden Heaven set the tone, collecting a yellow card for a woefully mistimed slide towards Bowen and then giving a fiendishly fierce back-pass to Senne Lammens, who duly sliced it out of bounds.
