Manager Ruben Amorim said his players "need to do better" after Manchester United missed a chance to go fifth in the Premier League when they were held 1-1 by West Ham United at Old Trafford.

After a goalless first half, the hosts took the lead in the 58th minute through Diogo Dalot but West Ham's Soungoutou Magassa equalised seven minutes from time to share points.

β€œAngry and frustrated, that’s it,” Amorim said.

β€œWe are really inconsistent but if you look at the goal [we conceded], we have a long ball, we have everything under control, we need to do better.

United sit eighth in the Premier League but could have been in a far stronger position had they not also failed to capitalise on leads against Tottenham and Nottingham Forest in recent weeks.
