West Ham vs Man Utd live - Team news as Weghorst returns and ...

We're still waiting for the opening goal at the London Stadium.

Stay tuned...

Wout Weghorst has returned to Man Utd's starting XI ahead of Anthony Martial.

He's yet to score for Erik ten Hag's side in the Premier League.

Will he end his drought tonight? Let us know in the comments below!

It's nearly 10 years since David Moyes became Manchester United manager.

He was sacked within a year of his appointment and is now in charge of West Ham.

Can Moyes and his team pull off a shock this evening?

The Hammers have started brightly...

We're about to start at the London Stadium!

Stay tuned to find out how the game unfolds...

Today's game is available to watch on BT Sport 1.

Kick-off is at 7pm.

Here are the team's for West Ham vs Man Utd...

West Ham: Fabianski; Kehrer, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek, Paqueta; Benrahma, Bowen, Antonio.

Man Utd: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Shaw, Malacia; Eriksen, Casemiro, Fernandes; Antony, Weghorst, Rashford.

Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen, with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis insisting the striker is not for sale.

"I will not sell Victor Osimhen this summer - no way!" De Laurentiis told Rai Sport (via Goal). The striker, who joined from Lille in 2020 and has scored 55 times in just 96 appearances for the Partenopei.

Manchester United are ready to fork out £53million to land Napoli defender Kim Min-jae, who could replace Harry Maguire.

Maguire, 30, is now Erik ten Hag's fifth-choice centre-back, spending the majority of this season watching from the bench as his team-mates shine. Despite Ten Hag publicly offering his backing to the England international, there are suggestions from Old Trafford that United would be open to selling Maguire this summer and recouping some of the £80m they paid Leicester for him in 2019.

But in that case, the Red Devils would almost certainly want to recruit a new centre-back to offset Maguire's departure, and that's where Kim comes in. According to Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, United would be willing to stump up the €60m (£53m) required to trigger the South Korean's release clause.

Manchester United are in chaos - and it’s threatening to undermine Erik ten Hag’s impressive first season at Old Trafford.

‌Protracted and confusing takeover talks have left United in a worrying vacuum at a crucial stage of the season. And Dutch sources close to the 53-year-old boss say Ten Hag is “concerned” that what should be a positive moment for the club could be derailed by the uncertainty caused by the club’s sale.

‌Having landed the Carabao Cup, booked an FA Cup Final with cross-town rivals Manchester City and made Champions League football next season a real possibility, Ten Hag wanted to push that momentum into the summer.

Yet leading transfer targets like Tottenham’s Harry Kane, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, Inter Milan frontman Lautaro Martinez and Ajax defender Jurrien Timber are now all on the back-burner while rival bidders including Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim compete for control of United.

Those names could even be replaced by even bigger stars with Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe said to be a high-priority signing for the Qatari bidders if they succeed over billionaire United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe. But while the club’s future is unresolved United are on the back foot and in turmoil compared with some rivals as the season draws to a close.

And that’s left Ten Hag in limbo. With the takeover ongoing, Mirror Football can reveal United have put a budget freeze in place preventing any recruitment of external consultants. And that’s the tip of the iceberg with the club hitting the pause button in many areas of the business.

Barcelona are set to ask Frenkie de Jong to take another wage cut as they look to free up funds to re-sign Lionel Messi.

Mirror Football exclusively revealed last month that Messi was set to leave PSG when his contract expires at the end of the season and Barcelona are keen to bring him back. The club's vice-president Rafa Yuste recently revealed they have already made contact with Messi's entourage and are hopeful he will return to Barcelona.

"Leo and his family know the affection we have for them," Yuste said. "I participated in the [contract] negotiations that in the end did not come to fruition unfortunately and I still have that thorn in my side. Of course I would love to see him return and I am sure that many fans share my feeling.

Manchester United take on West Ham United in the Premier League - with the late Sunday night kick-off a new one for fans to experience.

United need to bounce back to winning ways following their midweek loss to Brighton and will have a little extra time to prepare, with the match kicking off at 7pm on Sunday evening. The time slot is new for the league, with non-festive fixtures normally not kicking off past 4:30pm on a Sunday.

However, with the King's Coronation also taking place in the capital this weekend and with a Bank Holiday on Monday, the fixture is something of a one-off. There are also other fixtures affected by the Coronation, with Manchester City's match against Leeds on Saturday being televised in the Saturday 3pm slot - meanwhile, all Championship and League Two fixtures have been moved to Monday.

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has given Erik ten Hag a list of three names to target if the Red Devils boss misses out on Harry Kane.

“There are not many alternatives to Kane for Man Utd," Saha told DAZN Bet. "Victor Osimhen is an obvious one at the moment, though, he’s scoring a lot of goals for Napoli. Very fit, very strong and agile. But it may take him more time to adapt.

“There is a young boy in Hojlund at Atalanta. But no one offers the guarantees like Kane does.”

Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham has pinned the blame for Harry Maguire 's struggles on his team-mates amid another dire season for the centre-back.

Maguire slipped behind Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw in the pecking order. He has started just seven Premier League games under Erik ten Hag this term and has only played four minutes of football in the last three matches.

The £80million fee it took the Red Devils to buy Maguire from Leicester four years ago increasingly looks to be a major error. Ten Hag has made his unhappiness with the England international clear over the course of the season.

Manchester has been the bedrock of domestic success during the Premier League era: initially for Manchester United and, more recently, for Manchester City.

But just a few miles down the road from their prominent neighbours, Stockport County are on the rise again after a decade of decline.

The Hatters' recent history doesn't make for pleasant reading; a club with a proud and rich heritage - who were playing in the Championship as recently as 2002 - sunk as low as the sixth tier back in 2013.

The arrival of local businessman Mark Stott in 2020 has proven to be the catalyst for one the most remarkable comeback stories in recent memory, though.

After beating Wrexham to clinch National League title on the final day of the 2021/22 campaign, Stockport are now potentially just a game away from sealing back-to-back promotions and a return to League One for the first time since 2010.

Manchester United's protracted takeover situation continues to drag on and manager Erik ten Hag has been left concerned by the uncertainty.

Mirror Football understands that Ten Hag has sought answers on the situation from chief executive Richard Arnold, who replaced Ed Woodward last February. However, Arnold has been unable to provide total clarity, with his own role potentially in jeopardy depending on who buys the club.

Ten Hag is keen to strengthen his squad this summer with United currently fourth in the Premier League and hoping to secure a spot in next season's Champions League. The likes of Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen, Lautaro Martinez and Jurrien Timber are among United's top targets.

Juventus are ready to hand Mason Greenwood a career lifeline by taking him off Manchester United's hands in the summer transfer window.

Greenwood has not played for United since January 2022 and he remains away from Erik ten Hag's squad. Charges of attempted rape and assault against Greenwood were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February, though United are carrying out their own investigation.

While that takes place, Greenwood has been told to stay away from the club's Carrington training ground. It has now been claimed that the Red Devils would likely be willing to allow him to leave in the summer window in order to avoid disrupting Ten Hag's squad.

Erik ten Hag has called on his side to step up their performance levels ahead of United's clash with West Ham.

“You need so much energy, you need a good game-plan and, every game, you have to go again You can’t do it at 99 per cent. You have to do it at 100 per cent," he said.

“You have to do it over the full 95 minutes and that’s why we like it. Top players like it, to have huge challenges, but that costs energy. That’s our job, that’s our responsibility. We have to take it and we lay this [defeat at Brighton] aside. On Sunday, we go again and I’m sure we will be there.”

Former Manchester United coach Eric Steele has urged Erik ten Hag to keep David de Gea as his first-choice goalkeeper next season.

"I wouldn’t want him to be lost to Manchester United and the Premier League. Hopefully they will get this deal sorted and he stays part of the Ten Hag era," Steele told the Daily Mail.

"It’s down to David and the club. I think it’s about time it was sorted. We keep hearing it’s going to be resolved but we’re in May now. His contract runs out at the end of June. It would be nice to have an announcement to say which way it’s going.

"All I can say is that I would be very saddened to lose David after the 12 years he’s given."

Erik ten Hag has blasted this season's fixture schedule as United prepare for the final month of their campaign.

“It has already had an impact on the whole season and we are doing quite well in the schedule – not quite well, but really well,” he said.

“We have a big disadvantage against others. West Ham United is a team that, I think, has a worse schedule than we [do] but we showed all season already that we can deal with that. We are physically and mentally very strong.”

Richard Keys believes Manchester United are not "any better" under Erik ten Hag than his predecessors of the last decade.

United have endured a turbulent spell since iconic manager Sir Alex Ferguson retired in May 2013. David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick have all failed to win the Premier League title as United boss during that time.

Ten Hag was appointed by the Red Devils a year ago and is enjoying a solid first season in charge, with the team set to qualify for the Champions League. The Dutchman has been praised for his work at Old Trafford by fans, but TV presenter Keys is yet to be convinced.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly included a clause within his £5billion takeover bid which would see him a complete a full buyout of Manchester United after three years.

Sky News' sources say that INEOS chief executive and boyhood United fan Ratcliffe hopes to have put-and-call options in place, which if triggered would either force the Glazer family to sell their remaining shares to him or force him to acquire them at specified future dates.

For now, the Glazers would retain a minority stake.

The Glazers will take a definitive decision on the takeover of Manchester United this month after it emerged Sir Jim Ratcliffe's bid includes a clause to see the family leave the club entirely.

INEOS chief Ratcliffe is one of the two frontrunners to buy Manchester United along with Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani. The pair recently submitted their third and final bids, with Sheikh Jassim proposing a complete buyout and Ratcliffe making an offer to take a controlling interest in the club and allow Joel and Avram Glazer to retain a 20% stake in United.

However, the latest developments on Ratcliffe’s bid confirms that his approach will see the unpopular American family leave the club in its entirety after three years, should he be successful in his takeover attempt. As detailed by Sky, a final decision is expected to be made over the club's future this month.
