How Manchester United should line-up vs West Ham in Premier League fixture

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester United welcome West Ham to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon. United expected to compete for the Premier League title this season, but that challenge never began and they are now fighting to secure a top-four finish for Champions League football, something which David Moyes' West Ham are also hoping to achieve.

The Reds beat Brentford 3-1 on Wednesday night after an inspired second-half performance in London. That was United's first league win of 2022 and it offered some much-needed respite after a string of poor results against Aston Villa and Wolves.

United now sit on 35 points in the table, which means they're two points behind fourth-placed West Ham with a game in hand. West Ham are enjoying another strong season, but they head into this fixture on the back of a 3-2 defeat against Leeds. Here is how our MEN writers think United should line up. Samuel Luckhurst If Victor Lindelof was available then United should have played the same side.

The awful ordeal his family suffered in midweek means Harry Maguire should be the only change from the midweek win. United should have used 4-3-3 a lot earlier than they did and Scott McTominay should have moved to the base of the midfield back in August.
