Man Utd vs West Ham prediction: A low-scoring friendly
Key Stats
- Man Utd's first pre-season match this summer finished 0-0 in a match against Leeds.
- Three of the last five matches between Man Utd and West Ham have produced fewer than three goals.
- Although cards are rare in friendlies, three were dished out in West Ham's opening match of the summer against Grasshoppers.
Correct score prediction: Man Utd 1-1 West Ham
Man Utd looked like they were still lacking ideas going forward against Leeds, and those issues are unlikely to be resolved in time for this match. West Ham also had issues from an attacking standpoint at the end of last season, so there is every chance these two teams just cancel each other out.

West Ham preview: Lacking options up top
West Ham currently look short of options up top, with Niclas Fullkrug their only available senior striker. Elsewhere, they look healthier, especially after the addition of El Hadji Malick Diouf and Kyle Walker-Peters. Fans will also be keen to get another look at Callum Marshall, who impressed in the win over Grasshoppers.
Predicted lineup: Areola (GK), Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf, Soucek, Paqueta, Ward-Prowse, Bowen, Cornet, Fullkrug

Player to watch: Bryan Mbeumo
Bryan Mbeumo is in line for his Manchester United appearance on Saturday, and the former Brentford man will be keen to get his first goal for the club as soon as possible. Mbeumo had a superb season for the Bees last season, scoring 20 Premier League goals, but that has only raised expectations this time around.
