West Ham United 3-2 Manchester United: 5 talking points

5) Europe calling for West Ham

Bilic could be leading the Hammers into the group stage of the Europa League

With this victory over Manchester United, Slaven Bilic’s side has jumped to 6th position now, two points above 7th placed Southampton.

Winning against Stoke on Sunday would guarantee participation in the UEFA Europa League. What West Ham need the most right now is to ensure they bring the European competition to their glorious new stadium next year.

Now that Bilic has established himself quite well at the club, it would be interesting to see how his men, who have offered nothing but fluent and stylish football all season, fare against other good sides across the continent.
