West Ham host Manchester United at the London Stadium on Sunday with both sides unbeaten so far in the 2021/22 Premier League campaign.
The Irons, however, will be unable to call upon the services of their talisman Michail Antonio, after last week’s red card at Southampton incurred a one-game ban.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are likely to hand a second Premier League start of the season to Cristian Ronaldo, after his two-goal salvo against Newcastle United last weekend.
Ahead of the game we spoke to @SensibleUtd, a Red Devils fan account with over 27,000 followers on Twitter, to gauge the mood amongst the away supporters.
What have you made of West Ham at the start of the season? Who will cause you the biggest issues?
It’s too early to draw conclusions yet but West Ham are always a dangerous side. Declan Rice, as always, is a player that’s crucial to West Ham.
What have you made of your start to the season?
We’ve had our best start in a long while in the Premier League but not exactly in the Champions League. So, it’s been mixed, but I’d say more positive than negative for sure.
Is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer likely to make any big changes to the side?
Our lineup will depend on the availability of Scott McTominay, if he’s available we know the starting XI but if he isn’t then there’s a bunch of options we can go with in the pivot. I don’t expect big changes, just the ones caused by this.
Are there any particular weak links in the Manchester United side you fear may get exposed tomorrow?
Our pivot is a concern if Scott isn’t fit. Going toe to toe with Rice and Tomas Soucek is going to decide the game I feel.
Score prediction?
I think it will be a tight game. It could go either way but I’m hoping for a 2-1 win.
