<\/p>\n<p> Thu 4 December 2025 22:02, UK <\/p>\n<p><strong>West Ham remain in the Premier League relegation zone despite a positive draw against Manchester United on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>West Ham drew 1-1 at Old Trafford on 4 December, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/tag\/west-ham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Diogo Dalot<\/a> the unlikely opening goalscorer with a close-range finish in the second half.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/matchday\/this-west-ham-player-travelled-to-old-trafford-only-to-miss-out-completely-vs-man-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nuno Espirito Santo had his hands tied with his team selection<\/a>, with several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/tag\/west-ham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Ham<\/a> academy products forced on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/tag\/soungoutou-magassa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soungoutou Magassa<\/a> scored his first Irons goal to rescue a point, tapping home after a clearance on the line from a corner.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"

class=\"wp-image-157340\" \/>Credit: ImagoAaron Wan-Bissaka dominates<\/p>\n<p>Going back to his former side, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/tag\/aaron-wan-bissaka\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wan-Bissaka<\/a> was clearly determined to put on his best.<\/p>\n<p>The DR Congo international was rarely beaten, with his signature slide tackle to scoop around the ball coming out several times, as well as a goal-line clearance from Joshua Zirkzee.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/transfers\/west-ham-hold-genuine-interest-in-joshua-zirkzee-as-manchester-united-transfer-stance-emerges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zirkzee is wanted by West Ham<\/a> and could be Wan-Bissaka\u2019s teammate soon, and he will be glad to have him on his side, rather than against him, after tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The only blemish was a late yellow card for a foul on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/tag\/mason-mount\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mason Mount<\/a>, and possibly being lucky to avoid a second booking for a tackle on Patrick Dorgu.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Diouf has been one of West Ham\u2019s best signings of the year<\/a>, but it was an evening to forget in Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>The left wing-back is better in a five, but was placed in a back four, and he was skinned regularly by Amad Diallo, who was playing out wide.<\/p>\n<p>With <a

injured<\/a> and AFCON approaching quickly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/tag\/el-hadji-malick-diouf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Diouf<\/a> will need to do much more over the next couple of weeks to help escape this relegation battle.<\/p>\n<p>If Wan-Bissaka shone, his opposite number did anything but.<\/p>\n<p><strong>West Ham Zone<\/strong> rated the players out of 10
