Manchester United vs West Ham United – Predicted lineup and team newsThe Football FaithfulThu, December 4, 2025 at 6:28 AM UTC·2 min readManchester United return to Old Trafford on Thursday aiming to secure back-to-back Premier League wins for only the second time this season.
The Red Devils showed character to come from behind and beat Crystal Palace 2-1 on Sunday. Now, manager Rúben Amorim will be demanding a more controlled performance on home soil. The hosts have an excellent record in midweek fixtures at Old Trafford. They are unbeaten in their last 17 such games.

Therefore, Amorim must find a way to break that pattern to avoid setting a new record for the fastest manager to reach 10 home defeats in the club’s history.

Ruben Amorim faces selection headaches with Benjamin Šeško and Harry Maguire both ruled out. However, the return of Matheus Cunha to training provides a welcome option in attack, though he may start on the bench. Joshua Zirkzee is expected to lead the line after scoring the equaliser against Palace.
In midfield, captain Bruno Fernandes will be desperate to break his duck against West Ham; he has played more games against them (11) without scoring than any other opponent. Mason Mount and Bryan Mbeumo are likely to support the striker.
