'No mean feat' - Alan Shearer makes Nayef Aguerd point following Manchester United display

West Ham United defender Nayef Aguerd has been selected in Alan Shearer's Premier League team of the week.

The Hammers welcomed Manchester United to the London Stadium on Sunday evening and kept a clean sheet, Said Benhrama's goal proving to be the difference in a 1-0 win.

Keeping a clean sheet, Aguerd was at the heart of West Ham's performance as they moved seven points clear of the relegation zone.

And Shearer, who currently holds the record for most goals scored in the Premier League, singled out the Moroccan star for his performance.

"To keep Man Utd's front three anonymous in such an important match was no mean feat," said Shearer on the official Premier League website.

Alongside Aguerd is his former West Ham team-mate Craig Dawson, who joined Wolves in January, and Everton defender James Tarkowski.

There were also room in the team for Toffees duo Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dwight McNeil, who both scored braces in Monday's 5-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Alan Shearer's team of the week: Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), Nayef Agued (West Ham), Craig Dawson (Wolves), James Tarkowski (Everton), Abdoulaye Doucoure (Everton), Ilkay Gundogan (Man City), Tom Cairney (Fulham), Dwight McNeil (Everton) Martin Odegaard (Arsenal), Taiwo Awoniyi (Nottingham Forest), Willian (Fulham).
