In today's West Ham United roundup, we take a look at the news that has been making the headlines for the Hammers. Pundit Jamie Redknapp raves about Andriy Yarmolenko after his performance against Manchester United, David Gold takes to Twitter to react to Sunday's win, and there are fresh injury concerns regarding Manuel Lanzini.
Redknapp on Yarmolenko
Report: Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp stated in his Daily Mail column: "Scoring against Manchester United must have felt extra special for West Ham's Andriy Yarmolenko.
"The Ukrainian forward tore his Achilles last year, and it prevented us all from getting to see his quality. I've heard great things about him from Andriy Shevchenko, and hope he can stay fit and show us what he can do now."
Verdict: Just a few months into his West Ham career, Yarmolenko sustained an injury which saw him miss 32 games. Prior to his injury, he started his West Ham career in similar form to how he has begun this season. Last campaign, Yarmolenko scored two goals by matchday 5, and now after six games, the 29-year-old has another two.
Perhaps this goes to show what could have been last season if he hadn't been injured. But certainly this term, Yarmolenko can become one of the West Ham's most threatening players after his smartly taken goal against Man United showed his finishing prowess, as part of what is emerging as a very exciting attack. The Irons have netted four goals in their last two home games.
Gold is delighted with the victory
Report: West Ham chairman David Gold took to Twitter to express his delight after the team breezed past Manchester United over the weekend. It is now an unbeaten run of three games for Gold's club over United at the London Stadium.
Verdict: Gold himself has a right to be buzzing, not just because of the results, but to see the London Stadium bouncing and so positive - something which has not always happened since their move three years ago.
Gold has been heavily criticised since the move from Upton Park which at one point descended into a borderline riot, but from his tweets after the game, the co-owner seems pleased with the atmosphere, saying "Home support at it's best".
West Ham are now up to fifth after the win and on the same points as third-placed Leicester City, as Gold's club continue to try and break the barrier into the top-six.
Lanzini injury
Report: As reported by Football insider, Manuel Lanzini is set for an extended period on the sidelines after aggravating a foot injury on international duty in the goalless draw against Aston Villa. The 26-year-old is now set for three weeks out.
Verdict: Lanzini missed the 2-0 victory over United, having started the five previous Premier League games before that. In this time, the Argentine averaged a performance rating of 7.35, and with his average of 3.4 dribbles per game, he will prove to be a heavy miss for the Hammers' attack.
Pablo Fornals stepped in for the injured Lanzini against United, and the Spaniard looked 'very nervous on the ball' as he registered a 6/10, as told by football.london. Fornals' performances have been a large contrast to Lanzini's, with the 23-year-old averaging a rating of 6.29 in the six games he has played.
