MANCHESTER, England, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Manchester United missed the chance to go fifth in the Premier League standings when they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United at Old Trafford on Thursday, a result which keeps the visitors in the relegation zone.

After a scrappy goalless opening half, the hosts took the lead in the 58th minute through Diogo Dalot but West Ham's Soungoutou Magassa equalised seven minutes from time which led to boos from the home fans at the final whistle.
