Areola: We should enjoy the moments of defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford

May 12th Areola accepted an interview with West Ham's official website and talked about West Ham's 2-0 victory over Manchester United.

It is reported that Areola called on her teammates to continue their winning momentum and continue to work hard in the remaining two Premier League games in the 2024-25 season. The 32-year-old goalkeeper played a key role in the team's 2-0 away victory over Manchester United, contributing five saves, helping the team achieve its seventh clean sheet of the season and a first league victory at Old Trafford since May 2007.

Areola performed particularly well in the second half of this game. His two wonderful saves blocked the opponent's forward Hoylund's shot. Previously, Shotecke and Bowen scored goals for West Ham in the first and second half respectively, laying the victory for the team. After an disappointing eight-game losing streak, Porter's side rose to 15th place in the standings, and they will next face Nottingham Forest at home before heading to Ipswich.

Speaking of this game, Areola said: "I'm so happy to have done my job and the team has performed well from beginning to end, and I think we deserve this victory. We worked very hard to get this result, and I think we should enjoy the moment of defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford. We showed our strength and style and performed well throughout the game. I'm personally happy to be able to stop the opponent's goal and my teammates actively cleared after I made the save. It was a wonderful feeling, the day was filled with good moments, and as I said, it was what we deserved. Now, we have to keep moving forward and show the same for the remaining weeks. There are two more games to play, and today we have shown what we can do, so we hope to finish the season with a strong attitude.”

Shochek, who opened the game, paid tribute to his newborn son Daniel in celebration, his ninth goal in the top league this season. Areola congratulated his teammates on their new life in this unforgettable week. In addition, Fabianski, who is also goalkeeper, was confirmed to leave the club after the end of the season, and Areola expressed his respect for the Polish international. Since joining the Hammer Gang in July 2021, the two have been working closely together.

In response, Areola said: "It's amazing for Saucek. The newborn son has brought him new energy. I sincerely congratulate him on his birth and also on his goal in today's game. We feel sad about the news about the players leaving the team. They have paid a lot for the club and are part of winning the UEFA Champions League. Since my first day here, Fabianski has been working closely with me to promote me to be a better player. He has a brilliant career and he is still a great player and I wish him all the best."
