Possible line-up

Lukasz Fabianski; Fabian Balbuena, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Vladimir Coufal, Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek, Arthur Masuaku; Jarod Bowen, Michail Antonio, Pablo Fornals

Manchester United

Manchester United are coming off a heavy defeat against PSG in the Champions League group stage and without a doubt, the contest with Hammers would be a difficult one.

The Red Devils have picked up the momentum in the Premier League of late despite what it looked as a shambolic start. They have won their last three games for the first time in the Premier League this season, which includes a dramatic come-back against Southampton last week.

Bruno Fernandes has been the cut above the rest from the current Red Devils squad as the Portuguese playmaker has racked up 7 goals and 3 assists in the English top-flight this season. Edinson Cavani, who scored a match-winning brace against Southampton, would likely start the game to replace the doubtful Marcus Rashford.

1 – Since making his debut for @ManUtd on February 1st, no Premier League player has been involved in more competitive goals than Bruno Fernandes (35 – 22 goals, 13 assists). Orchestrator.

We analyse the impact that he's had on the Red Devils since his arrival at the club.
