Manchester United need a point in their visit to Leicester in the last round of the Premier League to secure participation in the Champions League next season. Tonight, the Red Devils finished with 1:1 with West Ham at Old Trafford, thanks to which they not only entered the top 4, but are also ahead of Chelsea at the moment because of their better goal difference than the Londoners, who are morelate visiting Liverpool. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer`s team played a weak match and fell behind in the break after receiving a goal from a penalty awarded for an extremely ridiculous act of Paul Pogba. Michael Antonio (45 + 2) was accurate from the penalty spot. Mason Greenwood (52) equalized, but then United did nothing to win the match. With this point, West Ham mathematically guarantees its stay in the Premier League.

The assumptions that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could remove David De Gea from the starting lineup were not justified. The Spaniard started again, although he made serious mistakes in the semifinals of the FA Cup against Chelsea, which United lost with 1:3 and thus broke their series of 19 consecutive games in all tournaments analyzed by how to buy soccer picks without defeat. Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, and Mason Greenwood returned among the 11, and Timothy Fossou-Mensa also got a chance at the expense of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who remained on the bench for the beginning.

The West Ham manager David Moyes, who has returned to Old Trafford, has not made any changes compared to the squad that started with the victory over Watford in the previous round.
In the third minute the hosts created a good opportunity. Bruno Fernandes found Martial on the right, after which the Frenchman shot very well on the diagonal, but Fabianski shot.

The Hammers had initially gone deep into their own half and the Red Devils controlled the ball 80% of the time, but the hosts` multi-pass attacks posed no danger at Fabianski`s door. The Londoners tried to reach corners in front of De Gea`s door during their attacks, but nothing came of these static situations. After the middle of the first half, however, the `hammers` equalized the game and significantly reduced the advantage of the hosts in terms of ball control. Fabianski saved a shot from Rashford, and a break from Brendan Williams on the left created a commotion in the penalty area of the guests, after which there was a ricochet in Diop. Greenwood fired, but his shot was blocked by Ogbonna.

At the end of the half, a cross from the right reached Antonio, who tried a header, the ball ricocheted into Lindelof and ended up in the hands of De Gea. In the added time of the first part, Pogba performed in an extremely ridiculous way, after raising both hands to protect his face from a blow to Rice. Following VAR`s intervention, a penalty was awarded in favor of West Ham. Antonio executed it in cold blood for 0:1.
At the break, Solskjaer replaced Fosu-Mensah with Wan-Bisaka. Soon after the resumption of the game, United equalized. Greenwood doubled with Martial on the edge of the penalty area, then shot in the near corner - 1:1. The equalizer, however, did not bother the guests, who kept looking.
