Owen Hargreaves praised Lisandro Martinez and David de Gea and also said Manchester United are finding a way to win games under manager Erik ten Hag that they would have previously fallen short in.
Hargreaves, who played for the Reds between 2007 and 2011, made the admission following United's slender 1-0 win over West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game, planting an emphatic first-half header past Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
That proved to be just enough to secure a second successive Premier League home win for United, but it was not achieved without some heroic goalkeeping from David de Gea and plenty of grit from the defenders in front of him. The Hammers had no shortage of opportunities to draw level in the second half, but they failed to find a way past an inspired De Gea.
