Follow live reaction after West Ham United beat Manchester United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The Hammers picked up their third win of the campaign by beating United 2-1, with all the goals coming late on. Crysencio Summerville slid in the opener at the far post for the hosts, before Casemiro looked to have won a point for United when he headed in from close range at the other end. But Matthijs de Ligt was then adjudged to have fouled Danny Ings in the box in stoppage time and Jarrod Bowen buried the resulting penalty to give the Hammers victory late on.

West Ham United vs Manchester United
16:39We wanted goals and drama after the first half, and we certainly got them in an astonishing second period which ends with West Ham beating Manchester United 2-1 in unbelievable circumstances!! After somehow keeping the visitors at bay in the opening 45 minutes, West Ham improved massively in the second half , and one of Julen Lopetegui's three substitutes, Crysencio Summerville, pounced at the far post to open the scoring and spark pandemonium at the London Stadium! That lead lasted just seven minutes though as a succession of headers ended with Casemiro equalising for the Red Devils, but there was still plenty of race left to run. A collision in the box between Danny Ings and Matthijs de Ligt drew the eye of VAR, and after several minutes of deliberation, the penalty was given and scored by Jarrod Bowen to make it 2-1 to the Hammers, flipping the xG figures to 2.98 (to 2.12) in their favour and seeing out 14 minutes of injury time to seal the points! The Irons leapfrog the visitors to 13th in the table, and what a win that could prove to be for Lopetegui and Erik ten Hag's futures!

16:07FULL-TIME: WEST HAM 2-1 MANCHESTER UNITED.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
16:05Another Garnacho cross into the middle, and another effort blocked – this time it's Zirkzee who is denied by Kilman in what must surely be the last attack of the match!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
16:04WIDE!!! With no way through West Ham's box, Fernandes is teed up on the edge of it and goes for goal. He's looking for the far corner, but his strike swerves away from goal rather than towards it and the home crowd jeers as it sways wide!!!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
16:04Manchester United try passes, chips, crosses and headers aplenty into the West Ham box but just can't find a way through, and Garnacho's latest ball in towards Hojlund ricochets back into the gloves of Fabianski, much to the hosts' relief!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
16:01SAVED!!! Onana prevents the hosts from making it 3-1!!! West Ham break as Summerville and Emerson combine down the left, before the left-back charges into the area and smashes a near-post shot towards goal which is parried clear by the goalkeeper!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:59Fernandes' cross towards the far post is hooked back into the middle by Dalot, but Fabianski rises to claim the ball with ease and will be in no hurry to throw this one out.

West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:51PENALTY TO WEST HAM!!! What a moment this could prove to be!!! De Ligt is judged to have fouled Ings as the pair's feet both planted in the ground – causing the collision with Kilman – but after a good long look at the replays, Coote points to the penalty spot!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:50We are checking for a West Ham penalty after a collision in the box!! Todibo and Kilman both stay forward after West Ham's corner is cleared, and there's calls for a penalty despite the clash seeming to be between the latter and Ings. Todibo swings a cross in from the right which is deflected back to Onana, but the on-field referee David Coote heads over to the monitor for a second look on Ings' contact with De Ligt!!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:47Summerville swings a great cross into the middle which Soucek and Bowen both jump for, but it takes a deflection off Lindelof and goes behind for a corner!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:47SAVED!!! Amad cuts inside from the right following a fantastic Dalot touch, and bends a shot towards the far corner which Fabianski saves and holds!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:45Mazraoui rides a challenge from Bowen but then pulls up holding his knee immediately afterwards, and it doesn't look like the Red Devils full-back will be able to continue.

West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:34Since the start of 2024 (excluding promoted/relegated sides), no team have kept fewer clean sheets than West Ham's mere two in the Premier League (level with Wolves). Indeed, their only league clean sheet at the London Stadium this year came in their very first one of 2024 (0-0 v Brighton on January 2nd).
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:32Lopetegui rolls the dice again with the game still goalless, bringing on Danny Ings for Antonio in a bid to finally break the deadlock.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:32Casemiro has been Manchester United’s string-puller so far, and went the closest of any player to opening the scoring before his header was saved by Fabianski at full stretch. The Brazilian has had the most touches, attempted and accurate passes of anyone on the pitch, completing 14 in the final third and creating two chances in the process. He’s also won six of his seven duels, turning possession over five times in total via two tackles and three successful aerial duels. Lynchpin.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:31There’s the half-time whistle, and it’s somehow goalless at the break between West Ham and Manchester United! That’s not to suggest it’s been an end-to-end game so far, because it hasn’t with the visitors racking up 1.48 xG compared to just 0.04 from West Ham. Fabianski has been called into action on several occasions, seeing shots from Garnacho, Fernandes, Eriksen and Dalot in particular miss the target, while making saves from Hojlund and Casemiro’s efforts. The Hammers, meanwhile, have only produced an off-target Paqueta header to trouble Onana, and if Manchester United do break the deadlock, the floodgates could really open in east London.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:31HALF-TIME: WEST HAM 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:31CHANCE!!! The visitors turn possession over on halfway and a glorious Hojlund pass releases Amad on the right, but Kilman's across in cover and wins the ball back before the Ivorian can shoot!

15:30CHANCE!!! Soler makes a rare forage forward and links up with Emerson to his left. The full-back’s low cross finds Soler, but he can’t turn and get a shot away quick enough as Casemiro gets back to clear!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:30We’re into three additional minutes at the end of what’s been a thoroughly entertaining – yet goalless – first half!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:30SAVED!!! What a stop from Fabianski!! Eriksen swings another free-kick into the middle for the visitors and it’s met by Casemiro, whose glancing header towards the bottom corner is somehow clawed out of the goalmouth by Fabianski and hurriedly cleared by Kilman!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:30CHANCE!!! A cross-field ball to Garnacho gives the winger space to take on Mavropanos, and he gets past him with ease before seeing his cross steered away from danger by Kilman on the stretch!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:29Play halts as both sides nurse injury worries to their centre-backs, with West Ham’s Mavropanos getting back to his feet as Manchester United’s Martinez receives further treatment.

15:29The Hammers break after half-clearing the visitors’ corner, with Bowen and Antonio both putting in blocks and racing into the final third before Onana bursts out of his box to thump the ball away!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:29OFF THE WOODWORK!!! Eriksen delivers from the left corner, and after Alvarez and Fabianski both go for the ball, it deflects off the pair of them and bounces back into the danger area off the crossbar!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:29The visitors keep the pressure up and Fernandes’ clipped pass finds Garnacho on the run, but Alvarez slides in as he gets to the byline to send the ball behind for a corner!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:29BLOCKED!! Fernandes won the free-kick and takes the free-kick, but can’t get it over the West Ham wall, which does its job to block the effort away!

15:27Emerson is making his 100th appearance in the Premier League, and 67th for West Ham.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:27Antonio shapes to hurl a long throw into the middle, but instead links up with Wan-Bissaka, hanging up a cross into the box which results in a far-post header wide by Kilman!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:26CHANCE!! What an opportunity for West Ham!! Antonio uses all his strength and pace to barge past and around the outside of Martinez before cutting back from the byline. Emerson arrives in the middle, but can't sort his feet out in time to get a shot away and Soucek blazes the follow-up well wide!!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:24Manchester United have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three away games in the Premier League, although the last two have both finished 0-0. The Red Devils last recorded four consecutive shutouts on the road in the league in July 2020.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:20SAVED!!! The visitors break after a Wan-Bissaka cross is cut out, as Fernandes and Garnacho combine to find Hojlund in the middle. He lets fly from the edge of the box, but Fabianski gets across and parries the shot behind at his near post!

15:19Yellow Card Matthijs de Ligt
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:19Manchester United have lost four of their eight Premier League meetings with West Ham at the London Stadium, more than they had in 20 trips to Upton Park – but finishing like that certainly isn’t helping to change that dismal record!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:18WIDE!!! West Ham press high up the pitch and a smart Summerville flick gives Antonio shooting space. He cuts inside and looks to pick out the far corner, but sends his curling strike just wide of the upright!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:17OVER!!! How on earth are Manchester United not 1-0 up?? Again the Hammers are opened up with ease as Fernandes’ ball over the top is latched onto by Dalot. Fabianski races out to meet him and misses the ball completely, but with only the goal to aim at, Dalot somehow puts his half-volley high and wide when it looked easier to score than miss!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:17WIDE!!! Rashford picks out Garnacho with a dangerous ball to the far post, but the winger's first-time strike on the volley crashes into the side netting!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:16Garnacho is released into space down the left as Manchester United spring forward on the counter, and after he’s clattered by a sliding Mavropanos on the edge, the Greek defender is shown a yellow card despite Garnacho being flagged for offside!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:16OVER!!! Soler’s corner finds Paqueta in the middle, and a looping header from the Brazilian has Onana beaten in the corner before landing on top of the net!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:15The Irons spring forward on the break as a switch of play releases Bowen down the flank. He's got Summerville in support, but cuts inside to shoot and sees his effort blocked by Mazraoui!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:14After a lengthy delay for Onana to receive treatment for a head knock after that collision with Antonio, the Manchester United keeper gets play back underway despite Erik ten Hag seemingly being ready to replace him.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:14Bowen does brilliantly to keep a Hammers half-chance alive, forcing the issue and playing a one-two with Wan-Bissaka before his cross ricochets behind off Fernandes.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:13Paqueta clips Fernandes late and then denies the Portuguese from taking a quick free-kick, earning himself a blatant and needless yellow card for delaying the restart.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:13West Ham’s four changes from their last Premier League game is the most Julen Lopetegui has made from one match to another this season.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:13The Hammers win another corner after Bowen’s cross deflects off Mazraoui into the side netting, but the captain’s delivery is telegraphed straight to Onana and the Manchester United goalkeeper makes a clean catch!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:13CHANCE!!! Mazraoui knocks a long ball forward which Rashford bursts onto after peeling off Kilman, but he can’t quite bring it under control as Fabianski races off his line to clean up and spare West Ham’s blushes!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:13The Irons open Manchester United up and Wan-Bissaka is played into open space down the right, but his cross into the area is blocked by Garnacho and loops into the waiting gloves of Onana!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:12Antonio swings a high, hanging cross into the middle which doesn’t look too dangerous, but Dalot’s taking no chances and heads it behind for West Ham’s first corner of the match.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:12Forward come the Hammers as Bowen and Wan-Bissaka link up down the right, and the latter’s low cross into the box is cut out and scythed away from danger by a sliding Martinez!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:12OVER!!! Manchester United remain on the offensive and hits a first-time cross into the middle, where Fernandes arrives unmarked but can only send a looping header over the top from right in front!!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:12Soucek sends a ball in behind the defence for Antonio to chase, and the Jamaican catches Onana late as the goalkeeper races off his line to collect it!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:11SAVED!!! The visitors counter after Onana collects an Antonio cross from the right, and Garnacho is sent running in behind. He crosses for Hojlund in the box, but he’s crowded out and can’t get a decent shot away before Fabianski arrives on the scene to parry the ball away!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:11West Ham have won their last two Premier League home games against Man Utd without conceding – but they’ve never kept three consecutive home clean sheets against the Red Devils in their league history.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:11WIDE!!! Hojlund, Rashford and Garnacho combine down the left to send the latter racing through on goal, but rather than passing the Argentine goes for goal and drags a low, right-footed strike wide of the far post!

15:10Manchester United have now failed to score a first-half goal in eight of their nine Premier League games this season, more often than any other side.

15:10Despite their absolute domination in the first half, Manchester United failing to score means their chances in our live win probability tracker have dropped to 39.9%. West Ham’s have too, understandably, and are sat on just 26.3% as – gets the second period underway for the visitors!

15:05Dalot hooks a long ball forward with Fernandes in behind and giving chase, but the Red Devils captain can't quite get on the end of it at full stretch as Fabianski collects.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:05That fast start has quickly waned into a cagey last few minutes, with both sides trading fouls in West Ham's half as Fernandes and Rodriguez win respective free-kicks.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:05Manchester United have only won two of their last 17 Premier League matches in London – losing 10 – with both of those victories coming against Fulham in November 2022 and November 2023.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
15:05OFF THE BAR!!! Almost the perfect start for Manchester United!! They turn possessio over high up the pitch and Rashford squares for Garnacho on the edge of the box, but his curling, first-time strike rattles off the crossbar and back into the field of play!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
14:04It's West Ham who'll get us underway, as Paqueta kick the game off and running at the London Stadium!

13:59As two out-of-form sides go head-to-head in east London, our live win probability tracker has the visitors as favourites to claim the three points, with Manchester United sitting on a 42.4% chance of victory compared to the Irons’ 32.2%. The hosts will be keen to change that though, as they’re welcomed onto the London Stadium pitch by a plethora of blown bubbles!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
13:44Ten Hag has made three changes himself after the visitors’ 1-1 draw with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in midweek, with Victor Lindelof, Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte all dropping to the subs bench as Casemiro, Rasmus Hojlund and captain Bruno Fernandes all return to the XI.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
13:44Julen Lopetegui makes four changes to his Hammers side in the wake of their 4-1 drubbing by Spurs, one of which is enforced after Mohammed Kudus’ red card late in that defeat.

13:33Manchester United sit just three points and three places above West Ham in the table, after a similarly underwhelming start to the campaign for Erik ten Hag’s men. The Red Devils have already suffered heavy home losses to Liverpool and Spurs, but snapped a four-game winless streak with a 2-1 victory over Brentford last time out.
West Ham United vs Manchester United
13:33The 16th-placed Irons haven’t had the start they’d hoped for under Julen Lopetegui, with the Spaniard’s side winning just two of their first eight games and losing four, including a 4-1 humbling by Tottenham Hotspur in last weekend’s London derby.
