West Ham could start without Said Benrahma vs Manchester United due to latest injury

The official West Ham United website has confirmed the knee injury suffered by Said Benrahma during a Europa League game against Dinamo Zagreb.

The Hammers are set to take on Manchester United on Sunday, but could be without their star attacker due to the injury. The 26-year-old has impressed for the Hammers ever since his move from Brentford.

The Algerian international has already bagged 2 goals and 2 assists in his 4 Premier League games so far. But his potential absence against the Red Devils at the London Stadium comes as a boost for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

David Moyes, however, revealed that influential left-back Arthur Masuaku is close to making a full return from his injury. The 27-year-old Congolese international came on as a substitute in the 2-0 win against the Croatian side.
