A win was there for the taking for the Hammers but good point gained from being behind . Not great football but some positive signs, at least more fight in the team. Who needs Paqueta?

Amorim in my opinion seems to deflect from the decisions he has made during the game that cost us two points. Mentions Cunha what about Bruno with two glaring chances. Make decisions and own them stop deflecting.

FT: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo talking to Match of the Day:
"I think it was a good game. Knowing that we face a very tough opponent full of talented players, and that we were able to contain them. In the second half, we controlled the game, we dominated. We created chances. The game could have gone both ways. But I'm very pleased with the work that the boys did today."
On Sougountou Magassa's first goal for West Ham:
"It's always nice. It increases his confidence. But not only Magassa, I think all of the team played really well. The defence was ok. We created situations. Special mention to Jarrod [Bowen], who did an amazing job for the team. We are very pleased to have him as a captain."
On where the result leaves West Ham:
"We try and try. It's really difficult to build with the urgency of the results, and the situation that we're in. But it's another step, there's still a long way to go, a lot of things to improve. As long as there's commitment and belief, we're going to do it."
FT: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We should have closed the game with the ball because the game was there to win. We knew that we needed to defend the advantage far from our goal but the long ball, Bowen won the first touch and took it to the corner and tried to win the corner. They won the corner and we cannot suffer a goal.
"I think the overall performance was not perfect. We had our moments but we lost control in the game in some minutes in the first half and in the second half, especially after the goal. The game was clearly ours to win and we had an opportunity with Cunha to finish the game. "
On the missed chances: "It is really frustrating because you look at the game, you have the game under control and we didn't win."
On why Heaven came off at half time: "Of course it was the yellow card and we tried to press high and leave one centre back with a striker all the time so any foul there could be a yellow. And we missed Ayden in the set pieces, so we need to be smarter when we play the game."
On more minutes for Martinez: "The important thing is to win games. Of course we are really happy for Licha but we need to focus on winning games."
FT: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo talking to Sky Sports: "We should be proud of the work of the boys, they work really hard to contain Man Utd. We went for the game. The boys worked really hard. We have to be glad.
"I was happy [when the equaliser went in]. I was very, very happy because I think we were on top of the game in that moment, we had momentum."
"I'm very pleased with the work of Jarrod [Bowen]. We are very happy to have him as a captain. He leads by example. He played an amazing game today."
"I think [Aaron Wan-Bissaka] played well. Our defence was OK. The goal we conceded came from a rebound. Nothing to do with organisation - the cover was there, the hard work was there. I think all of the defensive work was very very positive."
"It's an important result because it's a tough place to come. We are proud that we achieved something. It could have been three [points]. I felt we had good momentum - Man Utd, of course, also had some chances.
"But it doesn't change anything. We are building, always looking for a better performance. We will recover faster for Brighton. When we have a good result, a good performance, the legs recover faster. So we're going to have a tough match on Sunday, but with a better recovery.
"I thought that all of the performance - especially in the second half - the way that we recovered, the way that we played, the way that we combined, we created many problems for Man Utd."

More from Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaking to Sky Sports on Dalot's first league goal at Old Trafford: "Yes it's a goal but we draw so that doesn't matter."
On the equaliser: "The players changed but it is not an excuse. We know what to do in every situation. The game is 83 minutes and we need to close the game and not suffer a goal."
On getting into a good position ahead of the New Year: "Everything is important. Every game is important. We need to win the next one."
FT: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaking to Sky Sports: "[The performance] was not constant. We had good moments and we lost control a little bit in the first half and a little bit in the second half after the goal. We should have closed the game when we scored the first one.
"The game was in control. We knew it. Let's defend far from the box. We knew set pieces would be a problem with the difference in height in the team but we could do it. We could maintain the ball after the first goal and again we lost two points."
On where the game was lost: "Just losing second balls. And when they kick the ball long. Mateus [Fernandes] running with the ball. They win the first ball and then Bowen was making the runs. You can't control that kind of game. We should be better with the ball after the first goal.
"We had a big opportunity with Cunha. We had the ball near the box but the crosses were not good. Sometimes the players' characteristics inside the box are not good. They are not enough to score goals from that position."

FT: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
More from West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen speaking to Sky Sports about altering the corner routine for equaliser: "I don't know. Irving came on and he is a left footer. I am always on to Robbo to get me in the box and try to score from corners and it nearly worked an absolute treat.
"Not many people pick me up in the air. I'm 5ft 9 or something like that, so not the tallest. But I made that run, got the flick and I thought I scored. I was gutted that it didn't go in but to then see Soungou there and put the ball into the back of the net, I'm so delighted."
On Soungoutou Magassa's overall performance: "I'm sure it has been frustrating for him. He wants to play more but he comes into training every day with a smile on his face. His English is getting better, as we've just heard, and his quality on the pitch is improving. He is coming to a new club, a new country, new teammates, new league, so for me and the team it is good to support him, put our arm around him and help when he needs us to. And he just shows his quality on the pitch."
FT: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
Manchester United goalscorer Diogo Dalot speaking to Sky Sports:
"Disappointed. At 1-0 up with 30 minutes to go, I think we have to control the game much more. Especially at Old Trafford. We cannot get as anxious as we got after the goal. We were maybe a little bit more sloppy with the ball possession.
"Obviously disappointed with the draw. We had the game, there."
On their lack of control:
"It's the solution that we need to find. It can be various things. It shouldn't be like this because you are fighting 60 minutes to score a goal and then when it happens you should keep doing the same things, even more controlling, longer possession so we can be dominant. Especially the play that goes to the corner that we conceded - that's the kind of play that we need to avoid, especially against teams that are good on the counter.
"And we knew today that they were going to be looking for counter-attacks and set plays and unfortunately we couldn't hold the result but in the end we have to look to ourselves - I think it's more our fault, than credit to West Ham."
On his first Premier League goal at Old Trafford:
"It's a great feeling. Any time you have the opportunity to score for a club like this, it's amazing. Especially at the Stretford End. But in the end, the taste is not the same, I would change that for the three points without thinking. But I'm happy to help the team in any way, whether that's with a goal or whatever.
"But this type of result, it just gives you something to look at. We cannot be winning at home with 30 minutes to go and not controlling the game."
On the significance of the result:
"I think it's massive. We're at the time of the year where you cannot drop too many points, otherwise the distance to the top will be even higher. This season, the distance is short, but it will come to a time when everyone starts spreading out and we want to be there, we want to be in the top four, top five. That's the aim, we have to be there.
"Today we had a big chance, I think that's why the disappointment is even bigger."

West Ham goalscorer Soungoutou Magassa speaking to Sky Sports about his first goal for the club: "The feeling is amazing. We played a good game as a team. We all fight for everyone. I'm happy to score my first goal in the Premier League.
"It was a very good point, an important point for the team in the championship, and we've got to fight. I want to play, to give my best for the fans, the club, the coach and my team-mates, and I want to continue like that."

Another lacklustre performance from Man Utd when they have a golden opportunity to fly up the table. These players just seem to lack the killer instinct when presented with a chance
Matt H, Manchester
FT: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen speaking to Sky Sports: "We always knew it was going to be a difficult game coming here. They came off the back of a really good result away at Palace and we were on the end of another disappointing result.
"We wanted to show a reaction and I think we showed that from going a goal down to getting back into the game. I was really proud of the team tonight. The way they fought, the way they ran, and got a deserved point.
"In the Premier League it's got to be that way. You can't be too disheartened when you go a goal down. There's still a lot of time to play and we have to believe.
"We have that belief, I think you can see that, and then we get the goal from a set piece which is really important for us. Sounga got his first goal, delighted for him, he deserves it so much. I'm really happy for him."

Might do a quiz tomorrow. "Can you name all 179 West Ham Premier League goalscorers? You have five minutes."
FT: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
Soungoutou Magassa became the 179th different player to score a Premier League goal for West Ham.
No side have had more different goalscorers in the competition’s history (level with Tottenham).

Diogo Dalot scores first Premier League goal in more than two years
Soungoutou Magassa hits late leveller for West Ham
Manchester United prevented from going fifth
West Ham remain in relegation zone
West Ham turned the set-piece tables on Manchester United to snatch a draw at Old Trafford thanks to Soungoutou Magassa's 83rd-minute equaliser.
The build-up to the Premier League match had centered around head coach Ruben Amorim's admission he had "stolen" rival managers' ideas of how to score from set-pieces.
It had allowed Manchester United to move alongside Arsenal for the most goals scored via set-pieces this season, while no-one had conceded more than West Ham.
There was an element of irony therefore that the visitors should profit from one as Noussair Mazraoui's goalline clearance from Jarrod Bowen's flicked header from a West Ham corner should fall to Magassa, who gleefully smashed home his first goal for the club.
It was not enough to take West Ham out of the relegation zone but it did prevent Manchester United moving up to fifth.
That was where Amorim's side seemed to be heading thanks to Diogo Dalot's first Premier League goal in more than two years.
Dalot took one touch to control a deflected Casemiro shot eight yards out before beating Alphonse Areola with a tidy finish in front of the Stretford End after 58 minutes.
But it was a laboured performance from the hosts, who have now won once in their past five games, and the final whistle brought a smattering of boos from the home fans.
'We lost control' - Amorim rues late West Ham leveller
Amorim has come under fire this season for failing to trust his academy players.
On a night when home-grown pair Kobbie Mainoo and Shea Lacey remained on the bench, evidence for Amorim's caution was seen in the performance of 19-year-old defender Ayden Heaven.
Given his first start of the season at the centre of United's famed three-man defence, Heaven was turned by 33-year-old striker Callum Wilson, and fortunate not to be punished as the West Ham man failed to control with a clear run at goal ahead of him.
Less than 10 minutes were on the clock when Heaven rashly charged into Bowen and was booked.
It was part of a skittish opening from the home side and they did not settle until close to half-time, when Joshua Zirkzee's improvised effort was cleared off the line by former Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
That was followed by a Bruno Fernandes shot which flicked off the outside of a post.
It was a game of few chances though and, against limited opposition, Dalot's first league goal at Old Trafford - and only his fourth in 151 league appearances - appeared to be enough.
But not for the first time in recent weeks, their limitations were exposed and they failed to see a game out from a winning position.
Just over a week ago, after his team were beaten at home by 10-man Everton, Amorim said United were a long way from where they need to be. This was further evidence he was speaking the truth.
Old Trafford draw 'another step' forward for West Ham - Nuno
It is well known that Manchester United looked at 804 right-backs before deciding to spend £50m on Wan-Bissaka in the summer of 2019.
The former Crystal Palace player was not terrible during his 190 appearances for them, but neither did he look like he was worth the money either.
Wan-Bissaka's inconsistencies have followed him to London Stadium, where he was converted into a wing-back during Graham Potter's time at West Ham, and following Nuno Espirito Santo's arrival he is now playing in defence again.
The Londoner enjoyed his two meetings with his old club last season, as West Ham won both. He also made a significant impact here as he headed Zirkzee's effort off the line to ensure the closest the home side came to a goal before the break did not actually end up being one.
Wan Bissaka's diligence might turn into a big asset in their scrap for survival, as could Magassa's eye for goal.
The £17m summer arrival from Monaco was making only his eighth Hammers appearance and started for just the fourth time.
But the way he latched on to Mazraoui's clearance and instantly drove it back beyond Senne Lammens - and then the way he celebrated - suggested he is determined to succeed.
It is an attitude that might be priceless in the months that lie ahead.
Manchester United play in the final game of the next round of Premier League matches, at bottom side Wolves on Monday, 8 December (20:00 GMT). West Ham go to Brighton on Sunday, 7 December (14:00).

Manchester United have lost four of their five Premier League games against West Ham (W1), more than they had in their previous 28 against the Hammers (W19 D6 L3).
West Ham won this exact fixture 2-0 last season, ending a 16-game winless run away to Man Utd in the Premier League (D3 L13). They’ve not won consecutive league visits to Old Trafford since March 1934.
West Ham did the Premier League double over Manchester United last season, last winning three in a row against the Red Devils between December 2006 and December 2007.
Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 17 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League home games (W14 D3), winning the last eight in a row. Their last defeat was against Liverpool in May 2021 (2-4).
West Ham have lost just two of their 13 Premier League games played on a Thursday (W6 D5), though only two of those games have come outside of London (wins v Southampton in 2018 and 2024).
Man Utd have lost nine of their last 14 Premier League matches in the month of December (W4 D1), including the last three in a row without scoring. They’d been unbeaten in 15 games in the festive month before this (W12 D3).
Since a 3-0 win over Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest side in August, West Ham are winless in four Premier League away games (D2 L2), all under Santo since he arrived. The last Hammers manager to fail to win any of his first five away Premier League matches was Avram Grant in 2010 (first 9 games).
Rúben Amorim has lost nine of his 19 Premier League matches at Old Trafford as Manchester United boss (W8 D2). Should they lose this game, it will be the fastest ever a Red Devils manager has lost 10 home top-flight matches – the current fastest is 23 games by AH Albut between 1892 and 1894.
Jarrod Bowen scored in both of West Ham’s meetings with Man Utd in the Premier League last season – the last player to score in three in a row against them for the Hammers was Jermain Defoe (2001-2002).
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has played more Premier League games against West Ham United without scoring than any other club (11) – he’s failed to score with any of his 27 shots against the Hammers.
