Manchester United has proved they are far from that Sir Alex Ferguson side everybody feared across Europe, they weren't able to defeat West Ham United this Sunday, a club that is far from being considered a title contender right now. The Red Devils still have plenty to accomplish in order to get that status, but the Hammers took advantage of this weakness in order to get a point from Old Trafford, a historically difficult venue for them.
After the match, Croatian manager Slaven Bilic spoke to the press and said: "I am very pleased with the performance and the point of course. The only thing that I didn't like, and I said it half-time, is that when you score the goal you should be more confident than before you score the goal. But [for] a little bit after we scored we had that mentality that you are afraid that you scored a goal at Old Trafford. In the first half they were better than us, they didn't create much but they created one chance after they scored the goal.
"At half-time we asked the players to go at them, and to be fair the way we played in the second half was really good, if not great. So I have to praise the players, they showed commitment, team spirit, character and most of all the quality, especially in the second half. Okay the position we are not happy, we are still playing the price for September, but recently there are really good performances from us. Performances are not enough but if playing this good it's only a matter of time when we are going to get the points."
