LONDON - In a clash of the two most under-fire managers in the English Premier League, Julen Lopetegui's West Ham United beat Erik ten Hag's Manchester United 2-1 at the London Stadium on Oct 27 to heap more pressure on the Dutchman.
Ten Hag was riled by the "injustice" of the loss, telling the BBC: "Three times this season we feel injustice.
"We have to score, we created so many chances. We should've been two or three up.
"Second half we were forcing it, but we allowed them into the game.
"When you are losing 1-0 you need big personality and character of the team, and show resilience to get back into it. Unfair and unjust the way we conceded the penalty."
The Red Devils missed a scarcely believable litany of first-half chances, with the diverse array of culprits including Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Diogo Dalot.
It took United just two minutes to offer the home side their first warning, when winger Garnacho rattled the crossbar from a Fernandes cut-back.
Garnacho's second bite at the cherry six minutes later was not much better, as he shot wide when put through on goal by Fernandes.
Fernandes then went from creator to culprit when he failed to trouble Lukasz Fabianski with his free header from a Casemiro cross after 13 minutes.
