Peter Schmeichel felt Manchester United showed no sign of a game plan during their 2-0 defeat to West Ham, saying it was the worst the Reds had played for some time.

Alejandro Garnacho wasted a one-on-one chance during the first half in what was United’s best scoring opportunity of the game, with the Erik ten Hag's side failing to create enough clear cut openings.

The Hammers scored twice in quick succession in the second half to secure the victory and it means United have now gone four games without a goal for the first time in 31 years.

Ten Hag has been criticised for being unable to instil his own philosophy at Old Trafford amid a poor season. United have lost eight of their 18 Premier League matches and go into Christmas in eighth.
