Premier League 2018-19, West Ham v Manchester United: Match Preview & Predictions
Jose Mourinho and Manchester United will once again be under pressure when they travel to the London Stadium to face against an improved West Ham side.
Manchester United had a rather poor past week with their match against Wolves in the weekend ending in a draw while the midweek cup fixture against Derby County ending in defeat. A weekend filled with reports of a possible bust-up with coach Jose Mourinho and star midfielder Paul Pogba, Manchester United will be looking to end this with a clinical performance against the Hammers.
After a rather poor start to their season, West Ham has started to find form at the right time with impressive wins over Macclesfield Town and Everton along with a well-earned draw against Chelsea last weekend. The Hammers will be looking to continue with their unbeaten streak when they host Manchester United this week.

West Ham v Manchester United: Prediction
This will be a quite entertaining affair with Jose Mourinho looking to silence his critics as well as the bust-up reports with start players.
Manchester United might have a slight advantage with the stars at their disposal but after a spirited performance against Chelsea last weekend West Ham will be vying for more points against their rivals.
Predictions: West Ham 1-1 Manchester United
