Manchester United endured a pre-match bus attack and post-match demoralisation as their Champions League hopes were harpooned by a 3-2 defeat at West Ham United on Tuesday. After United's bus was pelted with missiles en route to the ground, they came from behind to lead 2-1 as Anthony Martial's brace negated Diafra Sakho's 10th-minute opener for West Ham. But Michail Antonio equalised before centre-back Winston Reid smuggled a header past visiting goalkeeper David de Gea in the 80th minute to bring the 2,398th and final game at West Ham's Boleyn Ground home to a crashing crescendo.

United manager Louis van Gaal said that the pre-match scenes had affected his younger players, saying: "It's not the first time that it happens, but I have a long experience in football. There are players who don't have experience. 

"It shall have an influence, but I don't think we have to look for excuses." The result left United in fifth place in the Premier League and means that they can only pip Manchester City to fourth place if they win at home to Bournemouth on Sunday and City lose at Swansea City.
