What Manchester United star Tyrell Malacia did as he walked past West Ham fans after being subbed off was pure class.
West Ham have all but sealed Premier League safety with a deserved win over Manchester United at the London Stadium.
The Hammers were the better side for large spells against a jaded looking Man United side.
And David Moyes’ men deservedly led at the break, although it was not without some long overdue good fortune.
Said Benrahma fired a weak attempt at goal from outside the box and David de Gea made a hash of it, as it bounced into the net off his outstretched hand.
West Ham had earned the luck, though.
To a man the Hammers were absolutely magnificent.
Brilliant Bowen runs Man United speedster into the ground
Jarrod Bowen so often sets the tempo for West Ham. If Bowen is on his game he really makes this team tick.
And that was the case against Manchester United.
In fact Bowen was so good he ran Dutch speedster Tyrell Malacia into the ground.
As Erik ten Hag looked for a way back into the game with eight minutes of stoppage time looming he took the diminutive full-back off.
And what Manchester United star Malacia did as he walked past West Ham fans after being subbed off was pure class.
What Man United star Tyrell Malacia did as he passed West Ham fans after being subbed off was pure class
The 23-year-old had to walk a gauntlet of West Ham fans was he exited the pitch on the opposite side to the dugouts.
As he walked behind the goal being goaded – in good humour – by Hammers supporters, Malacia spotted the giant West Ham crest on the floor.
He then made a point of avoiding walking over the club’s crossed Hammers crest in a show of respect.
It was a really classy gesture from the Manchester United man, especially with his team on their way to a damaging defeat.
Malacia’s actions were applauded by those in the crowd who spotted it. And rightly so.
