Manchester United are gearing up to face West Ham United in a Premier League showdown at Old Trafford! All eyes are on the pitch as the Red Devils look to climb the table.
Cunha Returns, Injury Doubts Loom
Good news for Man Utd fans! Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha is back in the squad after recovering from a head injury. Manager Ruben Amorim confirmed Cunha's return, stating it's a significant boost for the team. However, Amorim also mentioned two injury doubts that could impact his tactical approach. He kept the names under wraps, adding an element of suspense to the upcoming match. Defender Harry Maguire and striker Benjamin Sesko remain sidelined.
"We have two doubts for the game but I will not tell you today," Amorim said. "It will change the way we're going to approach it, let's see if they can play. The rest of the squad is good. Matheus is back. Harry and Sesko are still out."
Cunha's Eagerness and Potential
Cunha himself is clearly excited to be back, sharing a photo on social media in his training gear with the caption: "Back back back." Amorim believes Cunha has even more to offer. He highlighted the pressure Cunha faces at a big club and the impact of social media. Amorim believes the young player is still growing, both offensively and defensively.
"He has more levels to go. He's at a different club, different pressure. He was struggling because he was not scoring and because of social media abuse. He was thinking too much about the numbers, but the influence he has in the team is important to us," Amorim said.
Yoro's Mindset
United's French defender, Leny Yoro, conceded a penalty in the previous match against Crystal Palace. Amorim spoke about Yoro's tendency to dwell on mistakes, encouraging him to move past them and focus on his development.
Get ready for an exciting clash! Will Cunha's return be the spark Man Utd needs to secure a victory against West Ham? Tune in to find out!
