Manchester United XI vs West Ham: Mbeumo debut, confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for friendly | OneFootball

Fresh signing in line for first appearance

United have included their three new recruits in their travelling squad - Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon and Mbeumo - and Amorim has hailed both Cunha and Mbeumo pre-match, saying that both will greatly improve his side this coming season.

Cunha started against Leeds in the 0-0 draw at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm last time out, while Bruno Fernandes started in the midfield pivot alongside Casemiro, with Toby Collyer the more advanced alongside Cunha in the attacking midfield duo.

Chido Obi Martin started up top ahead of Rasmus Hojlund, although the Dane was brought on at half-time.

Stateside, United are somewhat depleted, although a lot of that is Amorim’s own doing.

He has exiled four first-team players - Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Alejandro Garnacho - who are all looking for a quick exit out of Old Trafford after the quartet were told that they were not part of the Portuguese’s plans.

Marcus Rashford was part of that outcast group before his loan move to Barcelona, although Amorim has said that, despite them not being part of the squad in the United States, the four players could be reintegrated into the first-team fold should no suitable offers materialise before the transfer deadline.

Injury-wise, United are missing Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez, who have both travelled, but are unlikely to feature in any of the three matches as they recover from their respective injuries.

Joshua Zirkzee is also added to the squad after missing out on the trip to Stockholm.

Predicted Man United XI (3-4-2-1): Bayindir; Mazraoui, de Ligt, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Hojlund.

Time and date: 12.00am BST, Sunday July 27

Venue: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
