Man United vs West Ham

Manchester United welcomes West Ham to Old Trafford on Sunday as positive vibes are starting to surround both teams once again.

The Belgian star, 31, arrived at Chelsea from Werder Bremen at the age of 22 and managed only 425 in a half-season before being offloaded to Wolfsburg. Left-sided beauty leads to intriguing off-kilter viewing (Fulham 0-0 Everton): Rarely do you see a contest featuring such a stark contrast between where attacks are finding their joy. Stunning goals lead to split between Bees, Wolves (Brentford 1-1 Wolves): Quality scoring chances were largely few and far between at the Gtech Community Stadium, but a pair of stunning goals made up for the dearth of danger, as the Bees and Wolves settled on a 1-1 draw in west London on Saturday. Palace goes to Plan B when Plan Z is off (Crystal Palace 1-0 Southampton): Odsonne Edouard has scored all three of his goals this season in Crystal Palace’s last six games, during which time he also has a game-winning assist, as the Eagles work out an alternate plan to “give the ball to Wilfried Zaha, hope he can beat four defenders and put the ball in the top corner.” It’s hardly revolutionary or genius stuff from Patrick Vieira, but Palace has found lots of joy in simply crossing the ball into the box, with Edouard crashing through the middle and Eberechi Eze arriving late for cut-backs while Zaha and Andre Ayew/Michael Olise head for the back post. Man City without Haaland in 2022-23 looks unsurprisingly like Man City 2021-22 (Leicester 0-1 Man City): With all due respect to Man City’s monstrous team and the huge potential of Julian Alvarez, Saturday was a throwback to Man City’s title-winning 2021-22 season. No, the club is decidedly not reminding anyone of the SIr Alex Ferguson era in terms of quality, but the pride and strength of will sure look something closer to what we remember from the Red Devils when they were one of the finest teams in the world (and one of most dreaded to compete against over 90 minutes). Harry Maguire a big part of Man Utd’s brave finish vs West Ham (Man Utd 1-0 West Ham): Erik ten Hag has changed the attitude at Old Trafford. Chelsea needs a break, Seagulls quite comfortable (Brighton 4-1 Chelsea): Brighton still needs a center forward to achieve its potential, but everything else looks as it did under Graham Potter and that’s a good thing. Feel-good Nelson flexes depth after Saka injury (Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest): Wrestling fans know about the full nelson and the half-nelson, now football fans can have the feel-good Nelson. One is Antonio Conte’s continued insistence on playing out of the back and defending far too deep in Spurs’ own half of the field (discussed here and here). Leeds are one of the toughest teams in the PL to beat, and typically those teams see losses turn to draws and draws turn to losses with a bit of patience*. Brave Man Utd stands strong: Erik ten Hag has changed the attitude at Old Trafford.

The confirmed team news and line up as Man Utd face West Ham in the Premier League at Old Trafford.

"Yeah, he was ready to start already on Thursday," Ten Hag told MUTV. "He was ready. Erik ten Hag insists Harry Maguire is desperate to make an impact on his return to the Manchester United starting line up this weekend.

Marcus Rashford's emphatic header, his 100th goal for United, and a string of late David de Gea saves earned the hosts a narrow win.

There seemed to be little danger as Dalot took a throw-in on the right, but Eriksen plays a lovely one-two with Fernandes and then whips a cross towards the back post. 52 mins: It’s been a scrappy start to the second half. 57 mins: Dalot again gets his head to a cross first – impressive work, but both times he’s been in the area that should be marshalled by Maguire. Speaking of felines, a certain West Ham defender would surely be given the lead in Dick Whittington and His Cat.” 72 mins: Luke Shaw nutmegs Soucek, who hauls the left-back down and gets a booking for his trouble. At the other end, Casemiro clips Benrahma and West Ham will have a chance to punish them. 74 mins: Ronaldo drops deeper to collect the ball, turns and sees an ambitious shot blocked. “The spirit we have is fabulous, we have the quality to score goals. Lisandro Martínez and Diogo Dalot were excellent, and Harry Maguire held his own on his return to the team. West Ham win the ball back from the corner and Cresswell’s cross is met at the near post by Zouma. On his return to form this season, he adds: “It’s a completely different energy around the whole club [this season], and I feel more motivated now. The moment for Fred was there, when he hit the post.” He is also not keen to discuss Harry Maguire in detail: “The team do their job – defend the goal – together, as a back four but also, the team defend as 11 players.”

Marcus Rashford scored again as Manchester United stretched its Premier League unbeaten run to five with a win over West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday.

His stats hint that there’s more to come, as ‘KDB’ is creating a gaudy 3.77 chances per 90 minutes. Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah, and Eden Hazard have also won the award, which is only five years old. The Belgian star, 31, arrived at Chelsea from Werder Bremen at the age of 22 and managed only 425 in a half-season before being offloaded to Wolfsburg. That’s tied for fifth all-time with Dennis Bergkamp, 71 behind record holder Ryan Giggs. Alan Shearer put up 47 over 42, while Thierry Henry holds the 38-game record with 44. Moyes has plenty of options in attack including Michail Antonio, Manuel Lanzini, and Pablo Fornals off the bench. Throw in a glorious block from Maguire just before that and David Moyes will be again cursing his bad luck at Old Trafford. Brave Man Utd stands strong: Erik ten Hag has changed the attitude at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag’s United are eight games unbeaten in all competitions and sit fifth on the Premier League table with 23 points.

He is fit. That has contributed to him losing his place in the Spain team, with reports claiming he will miss out on Qatar. “First thing for the goalkeeper is to protect the goal and make sure you don’t concede goals,” Ten Hag said. “I am convinced he can do it. But with the feet he has capabilities as well. 1 for that length of time if you’re not a fantastic goalkeeper,” West Ham manager David Moyes said.

Rashford's 100th goal for Manchester United sealed a 1-0 home win against the Hammers and kept them close to the Premier League's top four.

United launched the season with back-to-back league defeats and were thrashed 6-3 by Manchester City at the start of the month. Maguire and Diogo Dalot held firm with a series of decisive clearing headers as the Hammers surged forward and Antonio’s stinging drive was brilliantly saved by De Gea, who also parried Kurt Zouma’s header. Tomas Soucek fired off target and Benrahma fired straight at David De Gea from 25 yards.

United must win by two clear goals to topple the current leaders, after their 1-0 win at Old Trafford in our opening fixture of the competition. Our final Europa League group-stage game takes place in San Sebastian as the Reds must travel to Spain for the key tie with Real Sociedad. Bruno Fernandes picked up a yellow card for a trip on Jarrod Bowen in the closing stages, which is a costly one. The lads just love keeping the opposition at bay, as was evidenced by the wild celebrations in front of the East Stand at the end. He is the 22nd United man to reach 100 goals and his seventh of the campaign separated the teams at the interval. The tradition was kept up with four Academy products involved - Rashford and Anthony Elanga in the XI, plus Scott McTominay and Alejandro Garnacho on the bench.
