Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs West Ham in Premier League Tie
How Manchester United Have Lined Up Recently
Andre Onana is the number one option in goal. He was rested once for Altay Bayindir but will likely start every outing from here on out. Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, and Victor Lindelöf appear to be the new centre-back trio of choice due to injuries. Tyler Fredericsoon rotated in last week, and Matthijs de Ligt is a nailed on starter if he’s healthy. Luke Shaw’s return has seen him feature occasionally as a wide centre-back.

Noussair Mazraoui can be a wing-back or centre back if needed, Patrick Dorgu plays almost every match on either flank as a wing-back, and Harry Amass has emerged as a new option on the left. Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, and Kobbie Mainoo share the minutes as central midfielders.

Up front, Rasmus Hojlund is the preferred striking option with Chido Obi coming in for him against the Bees. Behind him is two narrow forwards that are usually Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes. Mason Mount made a return to action last week in place of Fernandes.
Manchester United Recent Form & Tactics
Amorim has been strict in the use of the 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 setup that got him success in Portugal. Even with injuries he tends to fit players into the roles he wants instead of shifting formation. This can cause some problems like Fredericson and Amasss as two inexperienced players guarding the entire left flank themselves and Lindelof moving from the central player of a back three into the wide right-side of the trio.

Results in the league have been nothing short of dreadful for the Red Devils with the defence looking quite porous at times as both Newcastle and Brentford put four past them. When they’re in Europe, we see another side to the squad as a thrilling 5-4 win over Lyon was followed up by an emphatic 7-1 aggregate win over Athletic Club. It’s clear that the ability is there, the mentality just isn’t domestically.
Manchester United Injuries to Consider
According to PremierInjuries, there are a number of problems for the manager to contend with. Maguire is a new worry as he got a knock. He is joined by Lisandro Martinez, Joshua Zirkzee, De Ligt, Ayden Heaven, Tobias Collyer, and Diogo Dalot.
