Manchester United’s winless run continued on Thursday night after a late strike from West Ham’s S. Magassa secured a 1–1 draw at Old Trafford in a tense Premier League encounter.
United took the lead in the 58th minute when Diogo Dalot drove forward and fired past the goalkeeper, rewarding the hosts for a bright spell after the interval. The goal lifted Erik ten Hag’s side, who pressed for a second but lacked precision in the final third.
West Ham gradually gained control and punished United’s failure to extend their lead. Magassa struck in the 83rd minute, finishing from close range after sustained pressure from the visitors. The equaliser shifted momentum, forcing United onto the back foot in the closing moments.
Both managers turned to their benches, with Mount, Ugarte and Dorgu coming on for United as they searched for a late winner, while West Ham introduced Kanté, Potts and Kilman to stabilise their side. Despite five minutes of added time, neither team managed to find a decisive goal.
The result leaves Manchester United frustrated after surrendering another lead, while West Ham leave Old Trafford with a valuable point following a disciplined second-half response.
