How much more embarrassing can this season get for Manchester United?
A team in the final of the Europa League – with an opportunity to represent their country in next season’s Champions League – continues to plumb new depths in the Premier League.
A 17th defeat of the season at the hands of West Ham is the most United have suffered since they were relegated in 1974. They cannot suffer the same fate this time around, but the biggest club in English football dropped to 16th place and can finish one place above the relegation zone after the Hammers moved above them with this well-earned victory – their first in the league in nine attempts.
