Manchester United vs. West Ham: Team News, Predicted Lineup, and Injury Updates for Premier League Match |

Summer signing set to return from injury at Old Trafford

United head coach Ruben Amorim said ahead of the victory at Selhurst Park at Cunha as targeting a return against West Ham on Thursday, telling reporters: “I expect to have Matheus in the next one [vs West Ham not this one [vs Crystal Palace].”

It remains to be seen if Cunha comes straight into the starting lineup after Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee both scord against Palace, with a place on the bench perhaps more likely.

Fellow forward Benjamin Sekso remains sidelined with a knee injury for a couple more weeks, with Harry Maguire's thigh issue ruling the defender out for a similar length of time.

Leny Yoro could be handed a rest, with Noussair Mazraoui pushing for return, in an otherwise unchanged back line.

Bruno Fernandes will continue in a midfield two alongside Casemiro.

Manchester United predicted XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Mount; Zirkzee

Doubt: Cunha (knock)

Injured: Sesko (knee) and Magiure (thigh)

Time and date: 8pm on Thursday, December 4, 2025

Venue: Old Trafford
