By Euan Burns
Manchester United will take a lot of confidence from their victory against Wolves in midweek and are expected to field the same starting eleven against West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.
Erik ten Hag reaped the benefits of being able to start players like Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw after their long absences through injury. He also had his trust in Marcus Rashford repaid with the Englishman netting the opening goal and having one of his best games of the season.
The 4-3 victory ended up being a lot nervier than the performance warranted, but Ten Hag is expected to stick with the same team when David Moyes and West Ham rock up at Old Trafford.
Man Utd predicted lineup vs West Ham (4-2-3-1)
GK: Andre Onana - Made a couple of big saves against Wolves, putting his AFCON troubles firmly in the rear-view mirror.
RB: Diogo Dalot - The Portuguese's positive attacking play helped create the opening goal against Wolves and he will be getting forward constantly against West Ham.
CB: Raphael Varane - Conceding three goals when in such a strong position would have irked Varane - the World Cup winner will want a clean sheet and a sharper performance throughout.
CB: Lisandro Martinez - The return of Martinez could determine whether United are capable of fighting for top-four finish.
LB: Luke Shaw - Linked up superbly with Marcus Rashford in midweek and provided an assist for Rasmus Hojlund's first half goal. Quite the return.
DM: Casemiro - The Brazilian copped an early booking at Molineux - a worrying sign for any United fan. But Casemiro settled down and put in an assured performance.
CM: Kobbie Mainoo - The star of the show, Kobbie Mainoo was having a superb game even before he scored a wonder goal.
CM: Bruno Fernandes - The encouraging thing for United was that they scored four goals without Bruno being at his best.
RW: Alejandro Garnacho - Has seemingly made the right wing position his own, with another energetic display in midweek sure to keep Antony watching on from the bench.
LW: Marcus Rashford - Ten Hag stood by the England winger and he repaid his manager's faith with a classy goal against Wolves. More needed though.
ST: Rasmus Hojlund - Made the perfect run at the perfect time in order to turn home Shaw's cross. Has all the right instincts and his endeavour is now being rewarded with goals and assists.
