Manchester (B2B) - Manchester United memenangkan pertandingan pertama Premier League di Old Trafford dalam hampir enam minggu setelah mengalahkan West Ham 3-1, Sabtu.
Kekalahan berturut-turut di kandang dari Everton dan Newcastle United meningkatkan tekanan tekanan pada manajer David Moyes awal bulan ini, tapi laga ini membuat United bertekad meraih kemenangan keempat mereka berturut-turut di semua kompetisi.
Danny Welbeck memberi juara Premier League memimpin laga pada menit ke-26 dengan gol pertamanya di liga di Old Trafford lebih dari 14 bulan, seperti dilansir Soccerway.
Dan penyerang Inggris berbalik memberi umpan akurat 10 menit kemudian, memberi pemain remaja Adnan Januzaj, yang meraih gol pertamanya di kandang untuk klub dengan penuh percaya diri.
Pemain pengganti United, Ashley Young menambah gol bagi klubnya ketika ia menyumbangkan gol keduanya dalam empat hari ketika laga tersisa 18 menit.
Carlton Cole berhasil menghindari jebakan offside untuk mencetak gol melewati kaki David De Gea pada delapan menit dari waktu tersisa sebagai gol penghibur bagi tim tamu, tapi tidak mengubah kemenangan, terlambat tercipta.
Akhir laga berdampak sedikit buruk bagi United karena Welbeck jalan tertatih-tatih karena tampaknya didera cedera otot di awal babak kedua.
United naik ke urutan ketujuh di klasemen sementara atas kemenangan di kandang, sementara West Ham - yang tampak lesu setelah kalah 2-1 dari Tottenham di perempat final Piala Liga Liga pada Rabu - tetap berada di posisi 17.
Wayne Rooney pulih dari cedera pangkal paha kecil, kembali berlaga bagi United untuk duet dengan Welbeck di lini depan.
Manchester - Manchester United won their first Premier League game at Old Trafford in nearly six weeks thanks to a 3-1 victory over West Ham on Saturday.
Successive home defeats to Everton and Newcastle United ramped up the pressure on manager David Moyes earlier this month, but there was no repeat on this occasion as United coasted to their fourth win in a row in all competitions.
Danny Welbeck gave the Premier League champions the lead in the 26th minute with his first league goal at Old Trafford in more than 14 months.
And the England forward turned provider 10 minutes later, setting up teenager Adnan Januzaj, who took his first home goal for the club with aplomb.
The second half never really got going, with United substitute Ashley Young providing the only highlight when he curled in his second goal in four days with 18 minutes left.
Carlton Cole beat the offside trap to race clear and slot through the legs of David De Gea eight minutes from time to pull one back for the visitors, but it was too little, too late.
The result was slightly soured for United as Welbeck limped off with what looked to be a muscle injury early in the second half.
United climbed to seventh in the table with their success, while West Ham – who looked sluggish after their 2-1 League Cup quarter-final win at Tottenham on Wednesday – remain 17th.
Wayne Rooney returned from a minor groin problem for United to partner Welbeck up front.
