00:01Manchester United have fallen to their 17th defeat of the Premier League season with a 2-0 home loss against West Ham United.
00:09United made six changes for the team, one against Athletic Club on Thursday night, but they were unable to inspire United to a victory against a West Ham team who have now leapfrogged them in the Premier League.
00:21West Ham of course have done a double over Manchester United, having beaten them in the London Stadium in what transpired to be Eric Ten Hag's final game in charge.
00:29Since then, Ruben Amarine has taken charge of 24 matches in the Premier League against teams who will be in the league this season.
00:36He's lost 14 of them. United have been dreadful for a long time now.
00:41This has been probably the worst league points of the season given the opposition.
00:46West Ham told the United at times, could have added a third, could have added a fourth.
00:52United were lack of a storm, uninspiring and apologetically bad.
00:57Lenni Yoro also went off with an injury, that is a fresh scare for Ruben Amarine ahead of that Europa League final.
01:03And the quirk of course is that this United team, who are now 16th in the Premier League, could be in the Champions League next season.
01:09Whether that's right or wrong, that is just a fact.
01:12Tottenham also were defeated today at home's Crystal Palace.
01:16Both sides with, I say one eye on Bilbao, they've both got both their eyes on Bilbao really in the Europa League final.
01:23Because that is the one chance not to salvage, not to redeem the season.
01:26Even if United finish 16th and get a Europa League victory, that is just simply not good enough.
01:31Today was a reminder of how big a job it is for Ruben Amarine this summer.
01:35United will earn roughly an extra £100 million if they do qualify for Chelsea,
01:40or make them a more attractive prospect for possible players.
01:43But that doesn't go a long way in modern football.
01:46And even with Manchester United's power, and even if they manage to sign three or four big names this summer,
01:50today was a reminder of how much work needs to be done.
01:53Has Ruben Amarine shown enough to suggest he is the man to turn things around here at Old Trafford?
01:58The jury is still very much out.
02:00Of course, you know, a good start to season, a good pre-season could change a lot of things.
02:05But today was a damning defeat for Manchester United.
02:07They haven't just lost against another Premier League team.
02:10They lost against one of the few teams who started the day below them.
02:14They lost here at home, and they had the double done over them by West Ham.
02:18And the other alarming thing is it was a rather strong team that Ruben Amarine chose.
02:22You know, Hoyland played the entirety of the match.
02:24He was dire in attack.
02:25Bruno Fernandes with one of his worst performances of the season.
02:28Like I said, Lenny Jarre started in central defence.
02:31And it just was a harrowing reminder of how poor United have won.
02:36Like I said, the elephant of rumours is that Europa League final.
02:39Whatever happens there will dictate for many people the success of the season.
02:43But today was a reminder that even that might not be enough for this Manchester team to get back on track.
02:48Full-time from Old Trafford.
02:50Manchester United 0-West Ham United 2.
