Just back from OT, in spite of the score it wasn't really a bad game.
West Ham possibly had the one really clear chance but only threatened spasmodically.
To be fair to Van Gaal, United did adopt a more direct style, especially in the second half. Instead of the recent three passes to the side, three back, three more to the side routine it was better.
They had four or five, swift, incisive, one/two touch, three/four pass moves from front to back which was just like United of old. Great to watch right until they got to a couple of yards from the goal mouth, then it all went pear shaped.
Can't see them getting anything in midweek though.
