Last week, Garnacho impressed with his performance against Brentford. However, Manchester United will have to face West Ham United without Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire in their Premier League clash. After a Europa League draw against Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce, the team's focus has shifted back to the Premier League. Luckily, Bruno Fernandes will be available for the trip to east London after serving a European suspension in Turkey.
Unfortunately, Antony has joined the injury list. The Brazilian was stretchered off shortly after coming off the bench during United's last game while they were chasing a winner. On the bright side, there is hope that veteran defender Jonny Evans will be available again after being assessed for a knock. However, there are still issues in the defense, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia still unavailable at left-back. The team will have to rely on Noussair Mazraoui, who played in a more advanced role against Fenerbahce, to potentially deploy Diogo Dalot at left-back again.
Mainoo and Mason Mount are also sidelined with injuries, with Ten Hag revealing that Mount's recovery is taking longer than expected. Fernandes, who missed the Fenerbahce game due to suspension, will be back in action for United. Maguire is still unavailable as he continues to recover from a knee injury. Young talent Amad Diallo was brought on for a few minutes in the last game after Antony's injury. He will be hoping for more game time after starting the first few games of the season and then being benched for the last four.
There was some good news for Leny Yoro this week as he was pictured back in light training. The team is hoping to have him back on the field as soon as possible. As for this weekend's game, there are some doubts over Evans' availability, while Shaw, Malacia, Yoro, Mainoo, Maguire, Antony, and Mount have all been ruled out.
Fernandes' return will be a boost for United, who will be facing West Ham with a predicted starting lineup of Onana, Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Eriksen, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, and Hojlund. For those wondering where to watch the game, it will kick off at 2pm on Sunday 27 October, but unfortunately, it will not be broadcasted live in the UK.
