The Red Devils could not find a way to beat Adrian, but Jose Mourinho's Manchester United will finish second in the Premier League.
Match Report
Manchester United guaranteed a second-place finish in the Premier League with a tame 0-0 draw at already-safe West Ham on Thursday.
Jose Mourinho's men, beaten 1-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion on Friday, knew a point at London Stadium would be enough to ensure they will end the season as runners-up to rivals Manchester City.
With defences on top, Adrian made a string of saves to protect West Ham's clean sheet and justify his selection in goal ahead of England international Joe Hart, who returned from illness but was only named on the bench.
United goalkeeper David de Gea, meanwhile, was untested as he ensured he will collect the Premier League's Golden Glove for the first time by recording his 18th shutout of the season.
Mourinho made eight changes from the Brighton loss, with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford among those dropped, but United could not find a way to beat Adrian, who brilliantly turned a Luke Shaw drive onto the post in the first half.
Back-to-back blanks indicate United - 19 points behind champions City with one round of games to play - are badly missing leading goalscorer Romelu Lukaku, who is battling to recover from a foot injury in time for next weekend's FA Cup final against his old club Chelsea.
Match Events
8' CHANCE! Arnautovic turns and steps inside Smalling on the edge of the United box, and pokes an effort towards goal; De Gea has no issue dropping to collect it.
23' CLOSE! Sanchez and Shaw go close! The former hits it sweetly from the middle of the box after Pogba plays a lovely flat pass in from the right; Adrian's save spills it to the latter who, from close range, puts it straight into the near post where it ricochets away.
27' HANDBALL! Zabaleta handball in penalty box!
41' CHANCE! From 30 yards out, Pogba tucks a low effort in towards the bottom-left corner; he hooks it wide by a matter of inches. The visitors have registered six shots on goal so far; the combined amount they managed against both Brighton and Arsenal in their last two games.
71' CHANCE! Pogba tries to curl a shot in from 10 yards out on the left into the far corner, only to play it straight and out for a goal-kick as Adrian dives and misses.

Looks like Man United play with no striker is it? Not good performance but better than vs Brighton. I think Jose just want to play safe with his players, he don’t want them to get injury and missed their chances for WC. Furthermore he just need one point only to secure second place. Because Jose looks very calm & not stress as usual. Just my thought! Next season is really important for United to streamed down their squad. Some of inconsistent & unimpressive players need to be removed. I think the lack of option of good players in the team is one of the reasons behind United’s poor performance. They need to be more competitive to challenge the title next season. United need result. That’s why Jose must buy good players next season. They can’t continue like this

at juventus pogba has played with talented one in the midfield he met pirlo,marchisio,attack there tevez higuain mandzukic, CB there bonuci chielin. but at United it is nightmare just look in midfield he met lingard fellain mctominay, CB there smalling, Jones,lindelof, FB there Darmian Valencia they all don't cross well then some. instead of Judge other player help him on boost team, people keep on criticizing pogba as flopped one. please you have to know that IF you PLAY with talented ur football skills Will be increased more times than Play with a lot of non talented in Xl as MU
