West Ham vs Man United - Premier League: Live score and latest updates

Moore makes first PL start

What were you doing at 17 years of age?

The answer for me is that I would be sat watching football while I should have been revision for my A-Levels.

I'm guessing all of your answers will be similar.

Well, Mikey Moore's wouldn't. After impressing against AZ Alkmaar in the week, the winger has been selected to start a Premier League game for the first time in his career.

The boy is only 17, it's crazy.

Spurs fans are excited about him, though. My friend who is a devoted Tottenham supporter just texted me how happy he is.

Can Moore shine brightly one more today?

West Ham Team News - THREE changes

By Harry Bamforth

Julen Lopetegui makes three changes from the defeat to Tottenham last week.

Carlos Soler is in for the suspended Mohammed Kudus, while Edson Alvarez replaces Tomas Soucek.

There is also a change at the back with Kostas Mavropanos coming to partner Max Kilman.

Man United Team News - Hojlund STARTS

By Harry Bamforth

Rasmus Hojlund is back in from the start!

After his goal against Brentford last week, Erik ten Hag has chosen the Dane to lead the line once more.

Casemiro is fit enough to start after an injury scare but Jonny Evans only makes the bench.

Thoughts, United fans?

Lopetegui: 'We have to improve'

By Harry Bamforth

Julen Lopetegui, West Ham boss, speaking on Friday:

Always we work and we live for the victories, to have victories, and for sure it will be very good for all of us and for the fans, but I prefer not to imagine the victory. I prefer to work to achieve the victory. This is the thing that we have to do.
Right now we have nothing, so we have to work very hard, be focused, believe in ourselves, and be ready to compete in the best way to be able to win the match.
We have to improve in our consistency because we are playing against different teams, because in each match a lot of things happen and there are key points, that sometimes work in your favour and sometimes against, but for sure we have to try to be more consistent and to play better, too. This is my aim.
I can imagine that what this team can develop into and what it can do, and we are going to work for this and develop and I am sure this idea is going to be real as soon as possible. I am sure that we are going to play well and that we are going to win matches. We have the focus in this.

Crunch time for Lopetegui

By Harry Bamforth

Julen Lopetegui may have only been at West Ham since the summer, but already he is feeling the heat.

I mean, after their recent results, I'm not surprised.

They are hovering just above the relegation zone in 16th. With the squad they have, that's pretty unforgivable.

With every passing day, frustration ins east London grows and the pressure on Lopetegui ramps up with it.

Today is arguably a must-win game for the Spaniard, or he could be sayonara before he has even settled.

It could be a monumental day in his early career at the clubs.

Ten Hag: 'We are fresh'

By Harry Bamforth

Erik ten Hag, Manchester United boss, speaking on Friday:

We have had a busy programme so I gave the lads some days off. They needed to rest and get away from football mentally. Now we are fresh going into a massive week.
We have to improve and we definitely can. It is not about one player. My philosophy is that we have to attack with 11 players. We have to get better movement. The decision-making on the ball has to be better and sometimes we have to be more clinical.

Ten Hag's time to ease pressure?

By Harry Bamforth

Another week has passed and Erik ten Hag is still in the hot seat.

He is in a much stronger position than he was during the international break, that's for sure.

Last week's win over Brentford did enough to quieten the noise around his future, even if it was only a little bit.

Then Manchester United's dramatic draw away at Fenerbahce displayed some of their fragilities once more.

Consistency is what Ten Hag needs right now, so a loss today would be severely damaging to both him and his side.

A win, though, could do wonders for his future.

Every game is a huge one for the United boss at the moment, and this one is no different.

Hammer time

By Harry Bamforth

Everybody stop, you know what time it is...

In the words of the great MC Hammer - this is it. Manchester United and West Ham usually serve up belters, and I simply can't wait.

The sun is shining in the capital, and we have all had an extra hour of sleep. It's the perfect day for it.

Both these clubs have had topsy-turvy starts to their campaigns, for very different reasons, and will be desperate for a win today.

When teams crave three points as badly as these two do, it usually means it will be an entertaining game.

Let's hope this one follows suit, eh?
