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.
