# Martin Tyler praises ‘class’ West Ham ace Manuel Lanzini

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/22/virals-forgotten-manchester-united-man-set-to-face-west-ham/) playmaker [Manuel Lanzini](https://readwestham.com/2021/06/11/after-90-manuel-lanzini-gets-married-in-gibraltar/) proved to be the difference as the Irons progressed in the Carabao Cup.

During a match full of squandered opportunities for both sides, it was the Argentine who [remained cool in front of goal](https://www.90min.com/posts/man-utd-0-1-west-ham-player-ratings) inside the first 10 minutes.

The Hammers made a [fast start to proceedings](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/man-utd-west-ham-cup-25049518) and were able to hang on to progress over Manchester United.

Speaking on [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/)‘ coverage of the meeting at Old Trafford, Martin Tyler was impressed with the 28-year-old.

> In the case of Lannzini, form is temporary, class is permanent. It’s a lovely touch, he passed it into the bottom corner.

Co-commentator and ex-Iron, [Rob Green](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/may/13-may/robert-green-former-west-ham-goalkeeper-completing-greatest-great), was also quick to praise Lanzini: “Scorer of the spectacular, of course, the one against Tottenham.”

West Ham’s reward for prevailing to the [fourth round](https://www.efl.com/news/2021/september/carabao-cup-round-four-draw-confirmed-ties/) is a home clash with cup holders Manchester City to be played at the London Stadium the week commencing October 25.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Last night was further proof if it was needed that this current [squad](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) has rarely before seen strength in depth.

Moyes was able to make a [host of changes](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/manchester-united-west-ham-live-stream-b1924920.html) to the starting lineup and remain the well-organished side that Hammers have become accustomed to.

Whilst the draw could certainly have [been kinder](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/pep-guardiola-man-city-record-21638142), this crop will fancy their chances against anyone at the moment, certainly in east London.
