Benjamin Sesko was already showing signs of becoming a proper Manchester United player before Michael Carrick walked through the door. This was not a particularly good United performance and had they lost to Tomas Soucek's 50th minute goal then they could not have complained. It was a good goal, too, by the way. The two West Ham central defenders and goalkeeper Mads Hermansen - recalled from the wilderness for the weekend win at Burnley - were excellent. When United forward Joshua Zirkzee flicked a header across goal and wide in the 94th minute, victory appeared to be West Ham's.
