Manchester United XI vs West Ham: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Premier League

Summer signing set to return from injury at Old Trafford

The summer signing has sat out the loss to Everton and win at Crystal Palace with a knocked picked up in training.

United head coach Ruben Amorim said ahead of the game on Thursday night: “Matheus is good.

“He has more levels to go. He’s at a different club, different pressure, he was struggling because he was not scoring, he was thinking too much about the numbers but the influence he has in the team is important to us.”

It remains to be seen if Cunha comes straight into the starting lineup after Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee both scord against Palace, with a place on the bench perhaps more likely.

Fellow forward Benjamin Sekso remains sidelined with a knee injury for a couple more weeks, with Harry Maguire's thigh issue ruling the defender out for a similar length of time.

Leny Yoro could be handed a rest, with Noussair Mazraoui pushing for return, in an otherwise unchanged back line.

Bruno Fernandes will continue in a midfield two alongside Casemiro.

Amorim has confirmed two Man Utd players are doubtful for the game, but stopped short of revealing who they are.

Manchester United predicted XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Mount; Zirkzee

Doubt: Cunha (knock)

Injured: Sesko (knee) and Magiure (thigh)

Time and date: 8pm on Thursday, December 4, 2025

Venue: Old Trafford
