How Man Utd could line up against West Ham with Cristiano Ronaldo keeping place and double injury boost

But Ronaldo's goal wasn't enough to secure the win as Young Boys came from behind to pull off a shock 2-1 win.

Now United travel to the London Stadium to face former boss Davie Moyes' in form Hammers.

Ronaldo is set to keep his place in the starting line-up, with Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood playing behind him.

Paul Pogba will most likely start in the midfield alongside Nemanja Matic.

And United's backline from their last league game will remain unchanged from their last Premier League game.

Luke Shaw, club captain Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all expected to start in front of David de Gea.
