Manchester United vs West Ham LIVE: Carabao Cup result, final score and reaction tonight
The Red Devils held on for a valuable win at the London Stadium last weekend thanks to David De Gea’s stoppage time penalty save with the Hammers out for revenge here
Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of Manchester United vs West Ham United in the Carabao Cup.
It seems like just last weekend that these two sides faced one another, doesn’t it? Well, that’s because it was. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side came out on top at the London Stadium on Sunday as his side clinched a 2-1 victory in dramatic circumstances. Former West Ham loanee Jesse Lingard scored a late winner for United, but Mark Noble then came onto the pitch to miss a stoppage time penalty as David Moyes’ team squandered the chance to leave with a point.
How will that result impact the two sides this evening? They swap the Premier League for the Carabao Cup, but will there be a different outcome? Both Solskjaer and Moyes will be well aware they need to manage their squads with both league and European ambitions to deal with. That almost certainly means we will see some changes.
West Ham have not beaten Manchester United in any of their last five meetings in all competitions. And Moyes has not beaten his former club since he was sacked by them after less than one season in charge seven years ago.
Could all that change tonight? It’s not long until we find out - be sure to hang on for the last 16 draw, which will follow tonight’s matches:

Reaction from Mark Noble
West Ham are through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup thanks to Manuel Lanzini’s 10th minute goal at Old Trafford. It’s a memorable win for the Hammers with captain Mark Noble calling it a ‘great night’. He told Sky Sports:
The last couple of days have been tough but you put your boots back on and come out to play. You could call it two glorified B teams but I thought the players were fantastic.
“Things happen in football and sport. Sunday night at home I felt sick as a pig but you wake up in the morning and go to training to get ready for Wednesday. I have missed penalties in the past but because of the occasion it was maybe so hyped. We came to Old Trafford, one of the greatest places in the world, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
“It gives a chances to players who don’t play regularly and when you go get a chance you have to take it. All in all, a great night for West Ham and a fantastic night for myself. Victories at Manchester United don’t come a lot.”
