David Moyes takes his side to face his former employers Manchester United
Manchester United’s most recent outing was a trip to Wolves in the Premier League, which was the Red Devils’ first league game after their winter break. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for the Red Devils after just five minutes, heading into the second half Manchester United were 2-0 up but it required a late winner by Kobbie Mainoo to win the match by 4-3.
Kalvin Phillips didn’t have the perfect start, but West Ham ultimately secured a valuable point. Despite conceding an early goal by Dominic Solanke due to a notable mistake from their recent addition, James Ward-Prowse’s penalty in the second half ensured a well-fought draw for The Hammers. West Ham are just one point ahead of their opponents in the upcoming match.
