Cristian Romero's red card swung the momentum firmly in United's favour just before the half-hour mark, and the hosts took the lead shortly after through Bryan Mbeumo. United dominated after the break, and Bruno Fernandes made the points safe late on to ensure Michael Carrick's winning start as interim boss continued. Cristian Romero was the subject of 25 questions in Thomas Frank's pre-match press conference on Thursday, so of course, he was going to be the centre of attention at Old Trafford.

I really enjoyed it, actually. "We got on really well. It's the first time I've met him properly and we had a good chat just about general kind of football things. "A little bit on processes and ideas, but he was really accommodating. I enjoyed it, so it will be good to see him again.

Solanke said he was forced to "make something out of nothing" and would be "watching that back a few times."

The absence of the wantaway Lucas Paqueta has given Mateus Fernandes a chance to take on more responsibility for West Ham. Paqueta, who is said to be nursing a minor back problem, was unavailable again for last week's win against Spurs but Nuno Espirito Santo's struggling side coped without the Flamengo target. They called on Fernandes to dictate the flow in midfield and the diligent Portuguese did not disappoint.
