Loads of West Ham United fans on Twitter are unhappy after manager Manuel Pellegrini suggested in his Manchester United pre-match press conference, via Football London (12:41pm) on Friday that Aaron Cresswell is going to start at left-back against the Red Devils on Sunday.
The Liverpool-born defender has failed to make the matchday squad in the Premier League since he started the opening day 5-0 defeat against Manchester City, with Arthur Masuaku preferred ahead of him.
However, the Frenchman is suspended following his red card against Aston Villa on Monday, which left Pellegrini with a decision to make.
Cresswell, Pablo Zabaleta – who came on and featured there at Villa Park – and youngster Ben Johnson looked to be the frontrunners, but Pellegrini, via Football London (12:41pm), named the former when speaking about who would replace Masuaku.
It’s fair to say those comments haven’t gone down very well with many Irons supporters on the popular social media platform, with one saying “God help us”, and another individual being even more defeatist by saying “3 points to United then”.
