Some wonderful displays that were peppered with great goals helped the east Londoners to their highest finish in the Premier League era, and their second best ever after the 1985/86 campaign.

It’s not clear whether they’ve managed to do that as yet, however, as Sky Sports have reported, the player has begun his pre-season back at Man United and is scheduled to attend a meeting to discuss extending his contract at the club, which has 12 months remaining.

He’d almost certainly have more game time at West Ham, but his heart still appears to be in Manchester.
