Manchester United suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat against West Ham in the Premier League, intensifying the scrutiny on manager Erik ten Hag. The loss, marked by a missed open goal and a late conceded penalty, leaves United in a disappointing 14th place in the league standings after their fourth defeat in nine games.
West Ham's Jarrod Bowen capitalized on a contentious penalty decision in stoppage time, converting the spot-kick after a foul by Matthijs de Ligt. United's missed opportunities came back to haunt them, none more glaring than Diogo Dalot's inexplicable sidefoot over an empty net in the first half.
