Manchester United's manager Ruben Amorim expressed frustration and anger after his team squandered a chance to rise to fifth in the Premier League, settling for a 1-1 draw against West Ham at Old Trafford on Thursday. The match saw a dramatic late equalizer from Soungoutou Magassa in the 83rd minute, canceling out Diogo Dalot's opening goal in the 58th minute. The draw marked Manchester United's third consecutive draw, following previous stalemates against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. Despite the team's inconsistent form, they remain just two points adrift of the top four. Bruno Fernandes had two opportunities to seal the win in added time, but his shots went wide and off target. Amorim acknowledged the team's struggles, saying, "We are really inconsistent. If you look at the goal, we had everything under control, but we need to do better." The result leaves Manchester United in eighth place, while West Ham remains 18th in the league table. The draw highlights the importance of securing points in the remaining games of the season, with Manchester United's manager emphasizing the need to avoid dropping too many points to maintain their title hopes.
