Manchester United are set to take on West Ham United at Old Trafford on Thursday in an important Premier League matchup as they build on the victory they had over the weekend.
This game is part of Matchday 14 in the 2025-26 season and carries weight for both sides. United, currently in seventh place, will be looking to strengthen its push for a spot in Europe. Meanwhile, West Ham, down in 17th, are in need of points as they try to steer clear of the relegation zone.
Man United vs West Ham preview
)
Manchester United head into this fixture with renewed confidence after bouncing back from a rough month. Their recent 2-1 win away at Crystal Palace helped soften the blow of a tight 1-0 home loss to Everton.
Under Ruben Amorim, the team seems to be finding more stability, having lost just one of their last seven league games, with four wins and two draws in that run. They are especially strong at Old Trafford during midweek league fixtures, staying unbeaten in their last 17 matches (14 wins, 3 draws).
West Ham, on the other hand, is under pressure. After going three games without a loss, they suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool. Their dip in form has left them in 17th place, hanging just above the relegation zone on goal difference.
Away games have been a major struggle this season, with just one win on the road in the league. A positive result at Old Trafford is badly needed to spark a turnaround and give them some breathing space.

Man United vs West Ham head-to-head
Recent results between these two sides have not been kind to Manchester United. West Ham have had the better of the Red Devils lately, winning three of their last five Premier League meetings.
Last season proved to be tough for United, with the Hammers pulling off a league double. They grabbed a 2-1 win at the London Stadium and followed it up with a commanding 2-0 victory at Old Trafford in May.
Man United vs West Ham team news
)
Manchester United have received a welcome boost ahead of the clash, as forward Matheus Cunha has returned to training after recovering from a head injury. While he is likely to be fit, he may start on the bench.
Centre back Lisandro Martinez also made his comeback in the previous game and could be in line for a starting spot. However, the Red Devils will still be without Harry Maguire, who is sidelined with a thigh problem, and Benjamin Sesko, who is nursing a knee injury.
West Ham, on the other hand, faces a big setback. Key midfielder Lucas Paqueta is suspended after picking up an avoidable red card in their last match. His absence will leave a creative gap in the middle of the park.
Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is a doubt with a back issue, and young defender Oliver Scarles may also miss out due to a shoulder injury. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo has some tough decisions to make as he looks to reshuffle the midfield
Man United vs West Ham probable lineups
Man United (3-4-2-1): Lammens; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Mount; Zirkzee
West Ham (4-2-3-1): Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf; Potts, Soucek; Bowen, Fernandes, Guilherme; Wilson
Man United vs West Ham prediction and betting Tips
