Michael Carrick has expressed his frustration over Manchester United’s lack of cutting edge following their 1-1 draw against a struggling West Ham side on Tuesday.
United were below their best for long spells in east London and fell behind to Tomas Soucek’s 50th-minute strike. However, Benjamin Sesko struck deep into added time to preserve Carrick’s unbeaten start as caretaker head coach.

Although the dramatic leveller ensured the Red Devils retained fourth place in the Premier League, Carrick conceded his side lacked cohesion in the final third.
“I think we were a little disappointed, and we were definitely not at our best. It’s times like that when you find a way and move on. I’m a little frustrated at that,” he said.
“It is a tough place to come, and we didn’t have that sharpness to find the answers. Great spirit again, and we will take the point and move on.
“For where we are and being together for a short space of time, in the end, we have to take a point.
“It didn’t come easy, and we found a way. We will take some positives from it.”
Sesko’s equaliser was his fifth goal in six games, underlining his resurgence after a difficult start to his debut season following his move from RB Leipzig.
“Fantastic finish. He has done it again. It is important. It is a great finish. Delighted for him. Another big goal and a good step,” Carrick added.
