West Ham United offer a young fan the chance to watch an upcoming match from the directors' box after he was caught on camera crying following his side's FA Cup exit.

West Ham United have launched a search for a young supporter who was spotted on camera crying following the club's FA Cup exit.

The Premier League outfit have reached out to the tearful youngster after he witnessed his side lose 5-0 to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the third round of the competition on Sunday.

After seeing the fan's distress, the club wrote on their official website: "Sunday afternoon's defeat at Nottingham Forest was tough for all to take, but particularly for one tearful young man in the away end.

"Everyone at West Ham United shares this young man's disappointment and are grateful for the large numbers of fans that made the trip to the City Ground."

The club have offered the young supporter and his family the chance to watch an upcoming home fixture from the directors' box.
