Manchester United predicted XI to face West Ham (Premier League)

Erik ten Hag’s men will be looking to bounce back after the disappointing late defeat against Brighton on Thursday night.

Manchester United travel to The London Stadium on Sunday afternoon to take on a West Ham side who are still searching for points to secure their Premier League status, hovering just four points above the drop zone.

Erik ten Hag and his team will be licking their wounds after a late Alexis Mac Allister penalty saw The Seagulls take all three points on Thursday night. However, it’s not all bad news for United.

A top-four finish and Champions League football is still firmly in their hands and three wins in the last five fixtures will see club football’s most prestigious tournament return to The Theatre of Dreams next season.

Fixture congestion has been a common theme since the World Cup and Erik ten Hag may look to inject some fresh legs into the side who lined up against Brighton 72 hours prior.

Harry Maguire could be brought back into the fold to partner Lindelof, allowing Shaw to start in a more familiar role at left-back.

The two key cogs in midfield, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, should be set to keep their place and Christian Eriksen may return in the place of Fred.

Anthony Martial’s fitness is still a concern so it’s unlikely that the United boss will start him twice in the space of three days. Marcus Rashford should lead the line with Jadon Sancho returning to start from the left.

Full predicted XI

De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Fernandes, Eriksen; Antony, Rashford, Sancho.
