West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic was left visibly frustrated after his Hammers side conceded early goals in both the first and second half in their 4-1 EFL Cup defeat to Manchester United.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring two minutes into the tie at Old Trafford before Ashley Fletcher equalised, grabbing his first for the Club with ten minutes left in the half.

But it was the same story in the second period as Anthony Martial converted from close range on 48 minutes and this time the visitors had no reply.

Instead, Martial and Ibrahimovic both added to their tallies on the night to secure the Red Devils’ place in the semi-finals.

Bilic said: "We can't have a slow start against them because they are very good when they are one up. They have those kind of players.

"After a slow start, we recovered and looked good but you can't do the same. And we did. They totally deserved it then after that.

"You just can't have that kind of start in a game like this.

"They were really good on the counter attacks and all that but that happened to us in the first half and then we recovered and started to play after 25 minutes. 

"They played with more energy and quality and a bit more passion."

West Ham takes on Arsenal at the London Stadium on Saturday with a 5.30pm kick off.
