Preview

United's home form offers hope, bolstered by Bruno Fernandes' creativity (2 goals, 5 assists in 13 games) and Casemiro's midfield steel (3 goals). Recent struggles, including a 0-2 loss to West Ham in May 2025, have piled pressure on manager Ruben Amorim.

Harry Maguire and Benjamin Sesko are out for Manchester United due to injuries.

West Ham rely on Jarrod Bowen (3 goals), but defensive frailties expose them away. A July 2025 friendly saw United edge 2-1, but Hammers stunned them earlier this year. Expect a tactical battle between United's press and West Ham's counter-threats.

West Ham United will miss Oliver Scarles, Lucas Paquetá and Crysencio Summerville due to injuries.
