Amorim names team to face Hammers

Ruben Amorim has named his side for Manchester United’s first match of the Premier League Summer Series, against West Ham United.

The Reds are looking to make a positive start to the US leg of Tour 2025 presented by Snapdragon, following last weekend’s 0-0 draw in Stockholm with Leeds United.

Our head coach has decided not to field new boy Bryan Mbeumo in the MetLife Stadium encounter, which kicks off at 00:00 BST and is live on MUTV to subscribers not based in the States.

The buy from Brentford is being eased into life with the Reds, as he is earlier in his pre-season preparations than the rest of the squad and is not quite ready to play a match yet.

However, another of our eye-catching recruits, Matheus Cunha, starts again.

Bruno Fernandes looks set to play in advanced role, with Kobbie Mainoo deeper, although both could easily switch positions at some point.

Amad is to operate at wing-back while Harry Maguire starts on the bench after linking up with the travelling squad.

Noussair Mazraoui misses out due to a knock.

United: Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Heaven; Amad, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dorgu; Fernandes (c), Cunha; Hojlund.
