Manchester United play host to West Ham United at Old Trafford in the Premier League this afternoon.
West Ham have drawn our last three Premier League games, and we unquestionably should have picked up more points during that run, whilst Manchester United have won one, drawn one and lost one of their last three outings.
I really don’t know what to expect from today’s game, but Hammers boss David Moyes telling the media that Old Trafford is a notoriously hard place to go during his pre-match press conference doesn’t fill me with much confidence, I must say.
Man United are there to be got at today in my opinion. They are quite obviously not the force they once were, and we should definitely be going to Old Trafford with the intent to win the game.
I’m sure that Moyes would take a point of it was offered to him now, but I really think we’re capable of getting all three, especially with the Red Devils still missing a lot of key players…
5 key Manchester United players could miss West Ham clash
According to Premier Injuries, there are five Man United players who could miss the game against the Hammers this afternoon.
Anthony Martial, Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount definitely won’t be fit to play, whilst Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof are rated at 50/50 to be passed fit for the game.
If all five of them are out, Ten Hag will be unable to call upon some really key players. The Dutchman still has a top-class squad full of very good players and experienced winners at his disposal.
They are just not what they once were though. The fear factor at Old Trafford has completely disappeared, and no team in the Premier League should fear going there anymore.
Manchester United are there for the taking as far as I’m concerned, and I really hope that West Ham don’t turn up waving the white flag before the game has even started.
We beat them comfortably in the reverse fixture at the London Stadium just before Christmas, and I see no reason why we can’t repeat that.
The Red Devils will be without some key players, so hopefully we’ll make it count. COYI X
