Manchester United vs West Ham predictions: Manchester United line-up

After a narrow home defeat at the hands of Barcelona, Manchester United would be aiming to come back to form in the league when they face West Ham at Old Trafford this Saturday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have gone off the boil in the last few games. After the international break, they narrowly edged past Watford, before being beaten by Wolves. As a result, they are currently sixth in the table, three points off the top-four.

Hence, getting a win this weekend is vital for United, if they are to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Team News

Luke Shaw and Ashley Young are suspended for this game. The former has 10 yellow cards to his name, while the latter got sent off at Wolves.

Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera have knocks and will be touch and go for this weekend. The former is more than expected to return when compared to the latter.

Alexis Sanchez could be in the squad for this game after doing loads of recovery work. Eric Bailly had a head injury that is going to keep him out for this weekend as well.

He was close to invisible on Wednesday. The Frenchman must improve if he is to make an impact against West Ham.

Fred (RCM)

The Brazilian has been doing a decent job in the midfield and should get another start this weekend.
