The win against Crystal Palace shall raise the spirits in Manchester United’s dressing room. The Red Devils are just three points behind the 4th Aston Villa and the Top 4. This gives the fans some hope that the 2025/26 season could end on a high note.
Before facing West Ham, Ruben Amorim’s problems concern the conditions of Matheus Cunha, Harry Maguire, and Benjamin Sesko. Cunha is doubtful for the match, while Maguire and Sesko won’t recover in time.
After a successful recovery from a terrible injury, Lisandro Martinez could return in Manchester United’s line-up against the Hammers. The Argentine international played 10 minutes against Palace, but now he could be in contention to start. Surely Manchester United needs him right now.
West Ham United News & Analysis
West Ham will try to recover after losing the match against Liverpool last weekend. Nuno Santo’s boys were in a run of three consecutive games without a defeat in the league, but they had to accept defeat against the current champions.
The Portuguese manager could be making some changes in the starting eleven against United. Some of the players had a bad game against Liverpool, so some substitutes like Soucek, Luis Guilherme and Fullkrug could get a chance to start the game.
There are bad news for Nuno Santo before the trip to Manchester. His key midfielder, Lucas Paqueta, was sent off against Liverpool, so he won’t be in the squad on Thursday. This is a huge hit for Liverpool regarding the team’s creativity.
