Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s stoppage-time finish rescued Manchester United and denied West Ham a deserved victory after a match shaped by missed opportunities and a ruled-out Casemiro goal.<\/p>\n
United arrived in east London unable to turn pressure into a clear advantage despite controlling the ball for large periods. Casemiro came close to levelling from open play only for a header to be disallowed for offside, and United left the contest trailing until the final moments. West Ham failed to kill the game in transition and \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s neat near-post finish produced a late equaliser that preserved a point for Michael Carrick\u2019s team.<\/p>\n
Carrick\u2019s trust in Amad Diallo continued: the Ivorian has started all five matches of Carrick\u2019s tenure and completed 90 minutes on four occasions. His defensive work was evident, echoing his role in the Manchester Derby, but Amad has yet to record a goal contribution since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. Against a deep West Ham backline, his out-to-in runs were rarely visible and United arguably required more end product from wide areas.<\/p>\n
\u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s substitution changed the game. After an uninspiring cameo for much of his time on the pitch, he produced a composed finish to secure a point. United may regret not using his physical presence from the start.<\/p>\n
