Manchester United and West Ham could be missing as many as eight players for their Premier League meeting at Old Trafford on Thursday evening. Both clubs are dealing with a combination of injuries and suspensions ahead of the fixture.
United head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Benjamin Sesko and Harry Maguire are ruled out, having both missed the previous two matches after picking up injuries in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham. Amorim also indicated that two further unnamed players are doubts for the match. However, Matheus Cunha is available after being sidelined for the last two fixtures.
West Ham, meanwhile, will be without four players for the trip to Manchester. Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed that Crysencio Summerville will not be in the matchday squad, while Lucas Paqueta serves a suspension following his red card in the defeat to Liverpool. Young left-back Ollie Scarles has progressed to non-contact training but remains unavailable, and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski continues to be sidelined with a back injury.
United will be aiming for a second consecutive league victory after their comeback win at Crystal Palace, where goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount overturned Jean-Philippe Mateta's opener. West Ham, in contrast, are looking to respond after a 2-0 loss to Liverpool, which ended a three-match unbeaten run that included wins over Newcastle and Burnley and a draw with Bournemouth.
