Coach Carrick believes that Man Utd did not play to their full potential in their fortunate draw against West Ham in the Premier League last night. He also praised hero Benjamin Sesko.

Sesko shone in injury time to help Man Utd avoid defeat against West Ham.

In last night's Premier League matchday 26 game, Man Utd endured a very difficult match. They fell behind to West Ham after Soucek's goal. Fortunately, in the 90+6th minute, Sesko became the hero by scoring the equalizer, earning Man Utd a valuable point.

Speaking after the match, manager Carrick admitted that the Manchester United players had not performed to their full potential. He said: “I have mixed feelings at the moment. We know we didn’t play at our best. I have to give credit to West Ham for that.”

The fact that the team scored a late equalizer is a positive sign. Overall, getting one point is acceptable for Man Utd. We have won four and drawn one of our last five games.”

In addition, the interim manager of Man Utd also praised hero Sesko. Notably, since Carrick took over as manager, the Slovenian striker has not made a single start for the Red Devils.

The 44-year-old coach added: “It’s always a matter of balance. The players who have started have all played very well. Sesko is working incredibly hard; he’s in a state of readiness to break through. When he came on today, he really made a big impact.”

It was an unbelievable finish from a very tight angle, with plenty of power, the ball hitting the target and scoring. It was truly a masterpiece. I know Sesko has that ability. He's not just shining now. Sesko has been doing this for a long time, proving his goal-scoring ability, even in training.

Therefore, I'm not surprised by this masterpiece. That's what Sesko does best. The previous goal gave him a lot more confidence. Tonight, with the emotions of the game, it was a very important moment for both him and the team.”

Meanwhile, manager Nuno Espirito Santo couldn't hide his disappointment at West Ham dropping two valuable points. He said: “Of course we are very sad, both the players and the fans. The team played very well and controlled a strong opponent.”

We started the second half very positively, scoring and defending solidly. Overall, it was a very good defensive performance and we had chances to finish the game. The whole West Ham team has to bounce back from disappointments like this. There's no other way than to keep going.”

Following this match, Man Utd remain in fourth place in the Premier League with 45 points, one point ahead of Chelsea, who are in fifth. Meanwhile, West Ham are still in the relegation zone with 24 points, two points behind safety.
