​Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has called West Ham United defender 'a disgrace' after he went down very easily following a confrontation with United's German star Bastian Schweinsteiger.





Keown expressed his view on ​BBC Final Score when a coming together of the players resulted in the World Cup winner angling an elbow at Reid, who went to ground very quickly to provoke a reaction from the referee.





Keown believes Reid has the right to be 'embarrassed' by his actions.







“The way Winston Reid goes down is almost a disgrace,” He said.





“I’d be embarrassed if I went down like that. Remember the wrestling that used to be on on Saturdays? It was like that.”





Reid was in fact one of West Ham's better players, as they battled their way to an impressive clean sheet at Old Trafford, and he will be disappointed that such actions detract from his top notch defensive work.





West Ham this season: 2-0 vs. Arsenal 3-0 vs. Liverpool 2-1 vs. Man City 2-1 vs. Chelsea 0-0 vs. Man United pic.twitter.com/QcZCs4QWnp — Squawka Football (@Squawka) December 5, 2015

The result completes quite an impressive sweep on the top sides in the Premier League, with away wins at Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City whilst also beating Chelsea at home and now avoiding defeat at Old Trafford.





Winston Reid was linked with a move away from West Ham last season, but decided to sign a new deal with Slaven Bilic's men and is leading them towards an extremely successful campaign thus far, with the Hammers sitting 6th in the table.
