MANCHESTER UNITED’S wastefulness in front of goal could dent their top-four charge with more ruthless teams making them pay.
The Red Devils managed to grind out a 1-0 win against the Hammers, but it was a game littered with misplaced passes and very little shots on target.
Marcus Rashford scored the winner, rising high at the back post to meet Christian Eriksen’s inch-perfect cross.
The win lifts United above top-four rivals Chelsea and one point behind fourth-place Newcastle.
Three points is all well and good but they didn’t make it easy on themselves.
