Last weekend, Hojlund scored his first league goal of the season against Brentford. It was a moment of triumph for the player, who had been working hard to find the back of the net. However, Manchester United will be facing a tough game against West Ham United this Sunday, as they will be without some of their key players. This news comes after their Europa League draw against Fenerbahce on Thursday, where they had to focus on the Premier League once again.
But there is some good news for United fans, as Bruno Fernandes will be available for the game. He had to sit out the Europa League match due to a suspension, but he will be back in action for the trip to east London. On the other hand, Antony, who was stretchered off the field in their last game, will be joining the injury list. This is a blow for the team, as they were hoping for him to make an impact off the bench.
Jonny Evans, who missed the Europa League trip due to a knock, will undergo an assessment before the game on Sunday. His presence will be crucial for United's injury-hit backline. However, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are still unavailable, leaving the team with problems at the left-back position. But there is some hope with the availability of Noussair Mazraoui, who played in a more advanced role in the Europa League game. This will allow Erik ten Hag to once again deploy Diogo Dalot at left-back, if he chooses to do so.
In their last game against Brentford, Casemiro picked up a knock but was still deemed fit enough to travel with the team to Istanbul. He came on as a substitute in the second half. However, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount are still sidelined due to injuries. Ten Hag revealed that Mount's recovery is taking longer than expected, which is a setback for the team. Fernandes also missed the Fenerbahce game due to suspension, but he will be back in action for this weekend's game.
Unfortunately, Harry Maguire is still unavailable as he continues to recover from a knee injury. But there was some good news this week, as summer signing Leny Yoro was pictured back in light training. The team will be hoping to have him back on the field as soon as possible. It's uncertain how United will line up this weekend, but it's likely that they will have to carefully manage Yoro's return to the side, considering his recent injury.
Kai Havertz, who has not had the best record against United, will also be a player to watch out for in this game. As for the predicted Man Utd XI, Onana, Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Eriksen, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, and Hojlund are expected to be in the starting lineup. For those wondering where to watch the game, it kicks off at 2pm on Sunday and unfortunately, it will not be broadcasted live in the UK. But fans can still catch up on all the latest news, exclusives, and analysis on Manchester United through various sources.
