Manchester United remain in the bottom two of the Premier League 2 table after a 3-0 defeat at home to West Ham.

It will not be the start to 2018 Ricky Sbragia will have been looking for as his side have now only one one in their last six league games.

The game was all square at the break but things quickly unravelled after the restart.

Grady Diangana headed the visitors in to the lead just six minutes after coming off the bench as he was unmarked just two yards out.

Minutes later Luca Ercolani was shown a straight red for a high foot and Sbragia's side were on the back foot.

The visitors got their second and third in quick succession with Toni Martinez nodding in number two before Martin Samuelsen drilled in his effort past Theo Richardson in United's net.

It wasn't a total disaster of a night for United as Angel Gomes came off the bench to make his U23s debut and impressed in the last half an hour.

Next up for United is a trip to Arsenal on Monday January 15.
