United’s senior manager, Erik Ten Hag, apologizes to United fans for another humiliating defeat, saying, “I’m a fighter. I’m confident I can do it, but it’s clear that we are in a bad place”.

West Ham slammed the gunners at home, wrapping up the game as early as the 60th minute. An own goal through White and a sublime touch and expert finish from Kudus gave Arsenal a mountain to climb. Jared Bowen added to the difficulty by giving Arteta’s men no chance to steal a victory.
