Three reasons not to worry after yesterday’s rout at Old Trafford

|

Men to return

Althought all four of West Ham’s big signings started yesterday at Old Trafford, Slaven Bilic is still missing arguably is most important two players in Manuel Lanzini and Michail Antonio.

It was clear that the Hammers lacked a link between the defence and front three yesterday, hence why they struggled to cause a threat to David De Gea’s goal. Lanzini is that man and his return will be welcomed with open arms.

Andre Ayew also visibly struggled out on the right, with his lack of pace meaning he failed to penetrate the United defence. Antonio: powerful, direct and with an eye for goal, will also walk straight into the starting line-up, and hopefully will pick up where he left off last season.
