Man Utd defence on worst run away from home since 2002 after defeat at West Ham

Manchester United have failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 consecutive away games after losing 2-0 at West Ham - the club's worst such streak since a run of 14 matches between April and December 2002.

Charged with steadying the ship and rebuilding the team since Jose Mourinho departed last season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took his side to London Stadium to face West Ham on Sunday with hopes of keeping up momentum after 1-0 wins over Leicester City and Astana.

A laboured performance from the off did not bode well for the visitors, however, and they were made to pay just before the stroke of half-time when Andriy Yarmolenko got on the end of a pass from Felipe Anderson to put the Hammers in the lead.
