Manchester United vs West Ham team news
Manchester United’s latest marquee signing Bryan Mbeumo could be in line for his first appearance in red.
Andre Onana is ruled out for much of pre-season after he sustained a hamstring injury. Otherwise, United are at full-strength, but Lisandro Martinez, who is part of the travelling squad, will not play as he continues his recovery from knee surgery.
As for West Ham, they have included summer signings Walker-Peters and El Hadji Malick Diouf in their 29-man travelling party. Edson Alvarez will join up with his team-mates after being granted a longer break following his exploits with Mexico at the Gold Cup earlier this summer.
However, Crysencio Summerville has not travelled as he continues his recovery from injury.
Manchester United vs West Ham prediction
Man Utd lacked a cutting edge against Leeds last week, so it will be interesting to see the approach Amorim takes for this one.
The Portuguese head coach will have had an extra week to drill his philosophies and ideas into his squad, and the addition of Mbeumo means he is likely to have two of his first-choice front three on show.
Naturally, both managers will experiment and use the game to build up match sharpness, but United’s squad should have enough to get the win.
Man United to win, 2-1.
