Man Utd suffers more Premier League pain at the hands of West Ham.

As the Europa League finalists continued to falter, West Ham handed Manchester United their 17th Premier League loss of the year.

 After United's Europa League heroics last Thursday, there was a festive atmosphere at Old Trafford, and the home team, who made six changes from the squad that advanced to the May 21 final match against Tottenham, got off to a strong start.

 Alphonse Areola made a brilliant stop to deny Amad, who provided the spark, but West Ham, who had lost their own last eight league games, quickly seized over and the atmosphere quickly soured.

Mohammed Kudus was the best player on the pitch, and Tomas Soucek gave the visitors the lead by flicking in his drilled cross into the six-yard box from close range.

Ten days prior to the Europa League final, Leny Yoro was forced off due to injury as Man Utd's issues grew worse in the second half.

 Soon after, Aaron Wan-Bissaka caught Manuel Ugarte in possession, and the West Ham fans were rejoicing.  Wan-Bissaka chose not to shoot and instead passed the ball across goal for Bowen to tap home at the far post after Kudus surged into space and the ball broke for him.

 As the Hammers secured their first league victory since February, Man Utd attempted to rally and Rasmus Hojlund had their finest chance, but Areola expertly stopped the striker from close range at full stretch.

West Ham jumps ahead of Manchester United into 15th place with the three points.  United, however, has not won a league game since March 16 and has now lost back-to-back games at Old Trafford.

"The biggest risk in this club is the lack of urgency." Amorim

"We can avoid these ambitions if you look at the ones that we suffer from.  the absence of vigour and urgency.  That is the club's most hazardous item.  At the start of the game, you can sense it.  There is a lack of urgency between our box and the opponent's box.  That is something that this club needs to change.

 "That is my responsibility.  We are so close to the objectives that it is frustrating.  There is so little urgency on our part to safeguard our objective.  This is week by week.  We have a different sense of urgency, even though we don't play as well in the Europa League.

It is an issue that requires our attention.  Both the inside and the outside of the pitch are involved.  We have to leave and make room for others if we are unable to do so.  Every one of us.

 "We will struggle since we are playing a Premier League team.  We will undoubtedly become more concentrated, which is concerning because we need to be attentive during every game.

 "For me, it doesn't matter if we win the Europa League because the problems are much bigger than that."
