Nuno Espirito Santo says he is under pressure as West Ham chase a first league win before Tuesday’s reunion with Wolves.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, the 1-1 draw at Watford on Saturday ended with boos from parts of the away end, some singing that he was getting sacked in the morning despite a dominant second half.

The Hammers have faltered after letting a two-goal lead slip at Burnley and suffering a shock home defeat by Charlton, leaving them on two points from three games and short of their billing as Championship promotion favourites.

Nuno accepts pressure comes daily at a big club and with expectations to go up. He says he trusts his players, is working hard while building a team, and remains positive that things will change.

He underlined the importance of the supporters, stressing respect for every opinion while urging them to keep believing and keep backing the team. He hopes a much-needed win arrives at the London Stadium.

Nuno added he has no complaints about his squad’s attitude or belief, arguing that sticking to the process is essential. He is confident they will click.

The Portuguese made his name at Molineux after arriving in 2017, winning promotion as champions a year later. Wolves then finished seventh in the Premier League twice and reached the FA Cup semi-finals and Europa League quarter-finals before he left in 2021.
