Is Man United v West Ham United on TV? How to watch pre-season friendly online

Manchester United take on West Ham United at MetLife Stadium in New York this weekend as both teams prepare for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.

United appear ready to target a new No 9, with links to Ollie Watkins, to complete a new front three.

The Hammers look to evolve under Graham Potter, who struggled to impose his philosophy on the team last term. But Tomas Soucek is optimistic about the side’s potential heading into the new campaign: “It’s been a good pre-season so far - the squad is together, and the coaches have been giving us great sessions. I’ve seen fresh faces and strong motivation from everyone, and it’s important now we keep building towards the start of the season.”
