LONDON, Feb 11 — Benjamin Sesko salvaged a 1-1 draw for Manchester United at West Ham as Michael Carrick’s perfect start came to an end yesterday, while Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to Newcastle pushed Thomas Frank closer to the exit door.

The Hammers kept one United fan who has vowed not to cut his hair until the Red Devils win five consecutive games waiting as they boosted their chances of survival despite the setback of Sesko’s stoppage time strike.
