West Ham confirmed that supporters had voted defender Issa Diop as their man of the match against Manchester United in the week.
And a number of Hammers supporters were quick to flock to the club’s official post on social media.
Diop, who is yet to feature in the Premier League this season, made his second start of the campaign in the 1-0 win at Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old partnered Craig Dawson at the heart of the defence and put in an impressive display.
He made the most clearances by any player on the pitch with seven, while also making three interceptions and completing the highest pass accuracy percentage of all 22 starters. [WhoScored]
West Ham asked fans to vote for their star man following the victory, with Diop up against Dawson, Jarrod Bowen and Alphonse Areola.
Diop earned just shy of 35% of over 5,750 votes by supporters, pipping Bowen in second.

This is what these Hammers fans had to say in reply to the post regarding Diop being man of the match, with one describing the post as ‘great to see’.
“Not overreacting but not selling Diop this summer could be a Moyes masterclass”
