Victor Lindelof's reaction to David de Gea howler and more Man United moments missed vs West Ham

There were early signs of a dismal night for David de Gea at the London Stadium, with the Manchester United goalkeeper once again lacking quality on the ball from the off. It took just four minutes for the 32-year-old to misplace his first pass, attempting to break West Ham's press with a penetrative ball into Wout Weghorst.

Declan Rice covered every blade of grass on the night and he was on call to intercept De Gea's pass, driving into the United box. Weghorst, whose effort can never be faulted, hunted down the midfielder and made a brilliant tackle to spare his goalkeeper's blushes.

That was all it took for Erik ten Hag to get onto De Gea, barking orders at the Spain international and pointing upfield in a way that unmistakably translated to 'get it long'.

The United goalkeeper's night went from bad to worse just before the half-hour mark, his mistake allowing Said Benrahma to score the winner. West Ham broke forward but the Algerian lacked options, his right-footed shot more hopeful than threatening.

But a slight slip made it awkward and the Reds shot-stopper was unable to palm a weak effort to safety despite getting a full hand on the ball. De Gea's mistakes this season are closing in on double figures and the Spaniard looked despondent as he lay in the turf.

The United players couldn't believe what they were seeing, with Tyrell Malacia throwing his arms in the air in frustration while Victor Lindelof put his head in his hands and sank to the floor in disbelief.

West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen was on the receiving end of a painful challenge by Tyrell Malacia late in the first half, the Dutchman inadvertently raking his studs down the Achilles of his main rival for the night.
