Manchester United secured a sixth straight Premier League win with a hard-fought victory over West Ham at the London Stadium yesterday.
The hosts were reduced to 10 men when Sofiane Feghouli was dismissed for a lunge on Phil Jones with just 15 minutes on the clock.
Goals from Juan Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimovic then secured all three points for Jose Mourinho's side.

Herrera's injury is unlikely to keep him out of Jose Mourinho's starting line-up.
The midfielder has been an ever-present under the former Chelsea boss since Mourinho succeeded Louis van Gaal in the summer.
He could feature when United go up against club legend Jaap Stam's Reading in the FA Cup on Saturday (12.30).
