Manchester United were beaten by West Ham on Sunday afternoon. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side travelled to east London with hopes of taking all three points, but they left with their tails between their legs. 

Most of the first half was very dull before Andriy Yarmolenko got in behind the defence and curled his shot into the net one minute before the break. 

The visitors were unable to respond and in the 84th minute, Aaron Cresswell curled in a stunning free-kick to secure a big win for the Hammers. 

The result leaves United eighth in the Premier League this season after six matches and their record since Solskjaer took over on a permanent basis has just been absolutely awful.

He signed the deal on 28 March and in the months since the Red Devils have played 17 competitive fixtures. 

They have won just five, lost eight and drawn four.

The run includes heavy defeats to Everton and Barcelona at the tail end of 2018/19 and embarrassing losses to Crystal Palace and West Ham already this term.

What makes things even worse though, is that United just aren't scoring enough goals. In 17 games they have scored just 16 times, averaging less than one goal per match. Terrible. 

Since Solskjaer was made permanent manager, the team have conceded 24. It's simply not good enough for a side expected to challenge for Champions League football.

It seems BBC Sport pundit Jermaine Jenas saw this coming back in April when he suggested United hired Solskjaer on emotion, not logic. 

"I all along thought they should go with Pochettino, and that they should have stuck with that position," he said on Football Focus.

"I just felt that the decision was based on emotion rather than actual logic. The emotional side of things, from Manchester United's point of view, is not how they should be running the football club."
