Manchester United have made memorable trips to East London over the years, and more often than not for the right reasons. West Ham will be hoping for another famous victory and will leave Erik ten Hag in deep trouble as his side struggle to regain momentum this season after last season’s shock FA Cup defeat . He explains that West Ham have won their last two home games against this rival and that the last time they did so at home against United was in the 1970s.
United’s 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce this week means they have gone a full year without a win in Europe, which is remarkable given the talent of the Ten Hag. There were bright spots in the second half against Brentford at Old Trafford last weekend, but the team returned to average form in Turkey and looked mid-table both at home and away the Europa League.
In even more worrying news for United fans, the team lost four of their eight goals at the London Stadium, a worse record than the one they enjoyed at Upton Park in their final days. Ten Hag is desperately hoping that the defeat rate does not exceed 50 percent or his days in charge at Old Trafford will be numbered.
United will welcome Bruno Fernandes back after the European break in midweek. Anthony has been ruled out of the game, while Jonny Evans and Mason Mount are doubtful. Harry Maguire, Lenny Yoro, Cobby Mainu and Luke Shaw are likely to be on the other side and the United manager must be tempted to wonder how many mirrors have been broken. West Ham will be without Mohamed Qudus and Nicklas Fulkrug, the summer signings who have made a torrid start to the east London side due to injuries.

A prediction game
West Ham 2:1 Manchester United
Neither team has had a great start to the season and West Ham will be desperate to bounce back from a disappointing performance at Tottenham last weekend with a strong performance in front of their home fans. The United manager must surely know that the time for talking is over and that even the silverware he brought to Old Trafford will not be enough to save him if the results don’t come soon. The Hammers have done a lot of damage to United over the years and a win here could mean the writing is on the wall for Ten Haag.
