Manchester United v West Ham: match preview

Manchester United v West Ham
Manchester United v West Ham: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

As Milan’s late goal in Thursday’s Europa League draw illustrated yet again, Manchester United lack the defence to be true contenders, something David Moyes will surely instruct West Ham to prey on. The visitors are fifth going into the weekend but only six points behind second-placed United. A win at Old Trafford, then, would really blow the race for a top-four finish open. Jamie Jackson
