Both Marouane Fellaini and Anthony Martial had gilt-edged chances to score, but in actual fact Mauro Zarate should have won the game for the visitors.
After the game, some sections of Old Trafford booed their team off and Smalling admits they need to do better in front of goal. “But we replaced them today and deserved a point”.
Ferdinand was disappointed to see none of the midfielders or forwards attacking the near post, especially in the second half.
Schweinsteiger appeared to elbow the Hammers player at a corner shortly before half-time.
WEST Ham coach Slaven Bilic has revealed that Victor Moses could face six weeks out with a hamstring injury after the 0-0 draw with Manchester United. I am sure if he has seen it, it would be a straight red but it wasn’t.
“We don’t have a record of too many wins here so it’s a good point”, the West Ham boss said. Considering we came here without four very important players and considering that we played against a team that have conceded only one goal at home all season.
“I think it would have to be the final against Chelsea in 2012 [that is my biggest disappointment]”, he told Manchester United’s official site.
The incident was missed by the referee meaning retrospective disciplinary action could yet be taken.
“Paddy McNair has an ankle problem and Schneiderlin is a little bit stiff in the hip, so we have to wait and see as always on that”, Van Gaal said. Man United looked short of ideas in the final third as they dominated possession but couldn’t find a way past Adrian in the West Ham goal.

“We don’t want to be eliminated”, Van Gaal added.
