United have Bruno Fernandes back from suspension and Erik ten Hag is set for one injury boost
Bruno Fernandes is available again for Manchester United to face West Ham after missing their Europa League draw with Fenerbahce due to suspension.
Jonny Evans is expected to be available and start alongside Matthijs de Ligt at centre-back at the London Stadium.
“We expect, of course, Bruno back and, hopefully, also Jonny Evans,” said United manager Erik ten Hag.
Lisandro Martinez will continue at left-back, with Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui on the right.
Mazraoui played at No10 against Fenerbahce on Thursday to cover for the absences of Fernandes and Mount.

Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount are all still out.
Antony added to United’s injury problems on Thursday when he went off on a stretcher in Turkey, with the winger seen on crutches.
Ten Hag said straight after the Fenerbahce game: “I haven't seen it, it's only what I have to tell you out of the second hand, so from the doctor and the physio, who told me what they saw. So, first, I have to see the video before I can give comment on this.”
Doubts: Evans, Mount
Injured: Maguire, Yoro, Shaw, Mainoo, Malacia, Antony
