Man United vs West Ham Football Preview
When you look back on Man United’s form since the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it doesn’t look too bad. However, it is the level of performance and apparent lack of desire and effort that has caused United’s fan base to look beyond the manager and into the dressing room.
With rumours circulating that up to 11 players could be looking to force their way out of Old Trafford, it has been far from the dream return for Cristiano Ronaldo. Many have already written this season off and started looking towards the appointment of a permanent manager in summer, but with some very winnable fixtures coming up, a victory over West Ham could get United’s season back on track.
The Hammers have certainly been one of the surprise packages of the Premier League season thus far. They have proven time and time again that they are capable of competing with the big boys, and they have dispatched of Man United, Spurs, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea across various competitions.
Old Trafford has been somewhat of a bogie ground for the visitors. Before their 1-0 over United in the EFL Cup earlier this season, West Ham hadn’t picked up a win at Old Trafford since 2007, when Carlos Tevez grabbed the only goal in a 1-0 upset.
Despite the contrast in form, our NetBet win probability counter still thinks a United win is the most likely outcome at 50%. West Ham picking up all three points is given a 25% chance, with a draw seen as equally likely.
Man United vs West Ham Football Odds
United tend to get the better of meetings between these two, and the bookies expect more of the same with the hosts priced at 20/23. The Hammers will once again be underdogs at 53/20, with a draw priced similarly at 5/2.

Create Your Bet Special: Man Utd Win, Both to Score, Over 0.5 First Half Goals, Bruno Fernandes First Goalscorer – 19/1
United have generally been dominant in this fixture at Old Trafford over the years. With 70,000 fans behind them, a slow start will not be accepted, and Bruno has been Mr. Reliable over the past year.
Jarrod Bowen Anytime Goalscorer – 7/2
The former Hull man is playing some of the best football of his career. He has netted four times in his last three games and will cause Rangnick’s back-line plenty of problems.
