Slaven Bilic revealed Victor Moses could face six weeks out with a hamstring injury after the 0-0 draw with Manchester United.

Moses hobbled off in the first-half of their stalemate as the Hammers avoided defeat at another of the Premier League heavyweights following wins at Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.

The winger joins an ever-growing injury list with Dimitri Payet, Enner Valencia, Diafra Sakho and Manuel Lanzini all facing spells on the sidelines.

Bilic bemoaned his team's luck, but said the well earned point at Old Trafford was made more special due to the lack of attacking options.

Charlie Nicholas gives his thoughts on the 0-0 draw between Manchester United and west Ham at Old Trafford.

"We have to wait for a scan but it doesn't look good," he said. 

"It's not like cramp. I don't know if it's three, four, five or six weeks. It is painful to be without Dimi Payet, Enner Valencia, Diafra Sakho, Manuel Lanzini and now Victor Moses.

"It's almost impossible to replace them.  But we replaced them today and this point was well deserved. As it was done without those players, it makes it even bigger."

Slaven Bilic felt Bastian Schweinsteiger should have been sent-off after catching Winston Reid with an elbow.

Winston Reid starred in the heart of the West Ham backline and the east Londoners have now kept clean sheets away from home against Arsenal, Liverpool and United.  

"We defended great," says Bilic. 

"The two centre-halves were magnificent. Not only the back-four - the whole team.

"Manchester United had their chances - they have so much quality. We were good on the ball and in the first-half we had the best chance. We also hit the post twice. We should have been up by at least one goal.

"Then we had a great chance through Mauro Zarate - you have to take your chances against a team that has only conceded one goal at home so far this season. They put us under pressure by putting bodies up front. They were risking, but we battled really well."
