This weekend, Manchester United returns to Old Trafford for a Premier League clash against David Moyes's West Ham United. The Sunday afternoon match at 14:00 GMT marks United's second home outing of 2024 and the first in three weeks since the 2-2 draw with Tottenham on January 14.
Erik ten Hag's team has an opportunity to move into the top six with a win, coinciding with the poignant marking of the 66th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster. Sofyan Amrabat may bolster the matchday squad after returning from Africa Cup of Nations duty with Morocco, expected to resume training on Saturday. The possible returns of Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are in consideration, while Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount are not expected to be available.
West Ham's Nayef Aguerd, returning from AFCON, and Vladimir Coufal, rejoining after suspension, could be part of Moyes's squad. West Ham currently holds sixth place in the league table, one point ahead of United, following their 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. Moyes's side boasts a six-game unbeaten run, including victories over Arsenal and United in the reverse fixture, but they have drawn their last three outings.
Key players for West Ham, Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus, both with double-digit goals this season, are expected to play a crucial role at Old Trafford. Despite West Ham's unbeaten league run, they exited the FA Cup during the same period.
In comparison, United, under Ten Hag, is undefeated in the league this year, securing wins against Wolves and registering victories in the FA Cup against Newport County and Wigan Athletic. The upcoming clash promises an exciting encounter between two competitive teams vying for crucial points in the Premier League standings.
