West Ham player ratings vs Manchester United: Kalvin Phillips continues nightmare start to loan move
West Ham's Premier League unbeaten run was brought to an end as goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho earned Manchester United a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford.
Hojlund marked his 21st birthday by scoring in a fourth league game in succession to put the home side ahead at half-time despite a decent Hammers showing.
Garnacho's deflected effort soon after the restart, however, effectively killed the game off, before the same player added a clincher late on, with the Hammers suffering their first league defeat since the 5-0 loss at Fulham in early December.
Here's how David Moyes's side rated at Old Trafford...
Alphonse Areola 6
Decent parry early on to keep out Bruno Fernandes's dipping strike before coming off at half-time as a precaution.
Vladimir Coufal 6
Returned from suspension and kept Marcus Rashford fairly quiet.
Kurt Zouma 6
Just doesn't quite look at his best at the moment, with injuries perhaps taking their toll. Steered a decent chance wide late on, but denied Fernandes a third with a sharp tackle.
Nayef Aguerd 4
Back from the Africa Cup of Nations but got caught square on as Hojlund struck and then unlucky to see Garnacho's first strike deflect off him and in.
Emerson 5
Terrible decision to shoot when cut-back might have seen West Ham level after the break. Garnacho had scored at the other end within seconds.
Edson Alvarez 7
Brilliant pass created chance for Bowen to pull one back. A big presence in the middle of the park.
Tomas Soucek 5
Early header almost led to opener via deflection off Alvarez but Andre Onana save was smart. Booked.
James Ward-Prowse 6
Lost out to Casemiro in build-up to opener. Form has dipped badly in recent weeks.
Ben Johnson 6
Surprisingly deployed on the right wing but gave a decent account, including a couple of well-hit efforts from range.
Jarrod Bowen 6
Needed to be more decisive when put through by Alvarez, though Diogo Dalot's block was superb. Looks the player missing Paqueta most.
Mohammed Kudus 6
Several fine driving runs up the centre of the park but faded after the break.
Substitutes
Lukasz FabiaÅski (Areola 46') 6
Called upon at half-time but had no chance with Garnacho strike after deflection.
Maxwel Cornet (Soucek 72') 5
Kalvin Phillips (Coufal 72') 4
Is having a dreadful start to his West Ham career, losing ball in build-up to Garnacho clincher.
