Premier League match report: Manchester United 0-0 West Ham United

Manchester United were booed off yet again as they played out their sixth goalless draw of the season against West Ham.

United failed to fully capitalise on Manchester City's defeat at Stoke as they missed several chances to earn a much-needed win.

Marouane Fellaini struck the woodwork in the first half and had a shot saved from three yards by Adrian after the break while Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Bastian Schweinsteiger all spurned good opportunities in front of goal.

This was not a lucky afternoon for West Ham, however. They could have just as easily registered their first win at Old Trafford since 2007.

The Hammers struck the woodwork twice and Victor Moses should have scored when clean through.

Mauro Zarate also somehow screwed his shot wide from close range after being played in by Andy Carroll.

The noises coming out of the Old Trafford boardroom before kick-off were of support for Louis van Gaal despite the less than convincing performances from his team.

But the only noise reverberating around Old 

Trafford at the final whistle was booing after this latest disappointment.

United, now fourth in the standings, may be just three points off the top of the table, but - make no mistake - their fans are deeply unhappy with their manager.

Fellaini looked keen to make an impression on his second league start of the season.

The Belgian got on the end of Paddy McNair's cross, but his header clipped the bar after being diverted off Winston Reid.

The West Ham defender came to his team's rescue again when he deflected Martial's shot wide from inside the box after some more good work from Fellaini, who cushioned Lingard's cross deep in the box with expertise.

United then barely troubled West Ham for the rest of the first half.

Mark Noble slotted the ball between Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian to send Moses clear, but David de Gea sprinted off his line to save.

The Hammers then struck the woodwork twice in twice minutes. De Gea dropped Aaron Creswell's ball into the box and Chris Smalling's attempted clearance hit Zarate on the head and clipped the left post.

Reid then lost his marker and powered a low header at the foot of the same post.

United were reeling. They were also lucky to have 11 men on the pitch too. Fellaini slid in late with his studs up on James Tomkins, but referee Mark Clattenburg kept his cards in his pocket.

Schweinsteiger also escaped punishment despite catching Reid with his left forearm.
