Manchester United beat 10-man West Ham 2-0 on Monday after a controversial game at London Stadium in the Premier League.
Sofiane Feghouli was sent off by Mike Dean early on for a hefty challenge on Phil Jones, which was perhaps more worthy of a yellow, while a combination of Darren Randolph and the post kept out Antonio Valencia and Jesse Lingard’s glorious chances in the first half.
Half-time substitute Juan Mata put the visitors ahead following fine work from fellow sub Marcus Rashford in the 63rd minute, before Zlatan Ibrahimovic wrapped the game up with 12 minutes remaining, finishing despite initially being found in an offside position.

Mourinho made five changes from the side that beat Middlesbrough just two days previous, recalling centre-halves Marcos Rojo and Jones, along with Lingard, Matteo Darmian and captain Michael Carrick.
