Manchester United will be looking to secure all 3 points when they face West Ham United at Old Trafford and close in on the Champions League positions. The Red Devils were on the wrong side of a 3-1 scoreline when these two sides last met back in September, producing undoubtedly their worst performance this season.
The Red Devils are on their worst run of form under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, winning just one of their last 5 games. They lost to Barcelona 0-1 in the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday but will have a lot of positive to take from their performance that day.
The Hammers will be looking to get back to winning way after losing their last 2 games. They lost to Chelsea 2-0 in their last game and will be looking to improve on that performance when they face Manchester United on Saturday.
