Mark Noble had put the relegation-threatened hosts in control at the interval with a brace of penalties and had the home fans dreaming of a repeat of their Carling Cup success over the Red Devils.
But a second-half hat-trick from an inspired Wayne Rooney saw the visitors run out comfortable victors in the end, with Javier Hernandez adding a late fourth.
On what effect the nature of the defeat will have on morale, Grant told Sky Sports: "It will not damage it.
"We are a strong team and we have showed we can recover well.
"We are disappointed. It was 2-0, we played well and then they scored."
The result saw the Hammers slide back into the relegation zone, although Grant would not read too much into the loss.
"We had a big job before. We can get over this," he added.
"We came strong, we were very good in the first half and it is more disappointing."
