Marko Arnautovic picked up yet another Man of the Match award – this time from Sky Sports – and celebrated a decent performance from the Irons against United.

Speaking to the official site he said: “We played really well. On a couple of occasions in the first half they had shots from long distance, but I think, overall, we deserved this point and maybe we deserved more as we had a couple of chances that maybe we could have finished better.

“Overall, we played well and it was a good game. Well done to us and well done to the fans as well. We can build on this and we have another game at home on Sunday and we want to finish the season strong.

“We started last week and this game we continued to do it and we want to end the season well.”

 

He added: “There was a lot of holding and a lot of grabbing. It was a very physical game, but this is the Premier League and we knew we were playing with Manchester United, who are second in the league and are a strong a team, so we needed to compete with them and we did.

“I think it was a fair result but if we had finished better we could have taken this game come away with a win, but we are happy with a point.”

The Hammers can possibly finish in tenth by beating Everton and our record signing said: “I’m so happy that we are safe because this Club, the fans and everyone deserves to be in the Premier League.

“Of course, we had ups and downs, but I’m happy I could help the team towards our goals. I hope I can continue this next season.

“We have one more game on Sunday and we want to finish strong, then we can go forward to next season.”
