This Saturday, Manchester United will play West Ham United at the London Stadium. They want to get all three points on the road in the Premier League. Not long ago, the Red Devils played hard enough to draw 0-0 at Liverpool, which should boost their confidence before this game.
There are a few changes that Erik ten Hag is likely to make to his starting eleven for this game. He will choose the 4-2-3-1 system. Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Bruno Fernandes will both be able to play right away in this game against the Hammers.
4-2-3-1 The team that Manchester United is likely to play against West Ham United’s defence
The Manchester United team will have Andre Onana in goal, who kept a clean sheet in his last league game. Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans will once again play together in the middle of Ten Hag’s defence as they try to keep the other team at bay for the whole game.
As we already said, Aaron Wan-Bissaka will have a chance to show what he can do as the right-back, and Luke Shaw will try to stand out as the left-back. They will both need to do a good job of playing defence if Man United wants to win this weekend.
This game won’t have Diogo Dalot in it. Sergio Reguilon, on the other hand, will sit on the bench and fill in at left-back.
In the middle
Kobbie Mainoo and Sofyan Amrabat will play as defensive midfielders and try to win the 50/50 balls in the middle of the field. Alexis Sánchez, Bruno Fernandes, and Antony will all have a chance to show how good they are as part of Man United’s squad.
For Fernandes, the game against Liverpool was off because he was suspended. He would love to make a difference for Manchester United this Saturday at the London Stadium.
Scott McTominay will have to be happy with a spot on the bench. He could come on in the second half to make a difference if needed.
Launch an attack
Man City’s Rasmus Hojlund will be in charge of the attack on this end of the game. He needs to find a way to keep the West Ham goal in danger for the whole game.
There is some worry about Anthony Martial before this game, but he should be able to start on the bench.
