Man United vs West Ham: Pre-season preview, where to watch, key players

Manchester United face West Ham United in the Premier League summer series at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday morning.

The 2025 Premier League summer series is a four-team tournament, featuring United, West Ham United, Everton and Bournemouth.

Each team plays each other once, and the side with the most points wins the series.

If two or more teams are tied on the same points, their final position on the table will be decided by goal difference, then goals scored and head-to-head.

Match preview

United were held to a goalless draw in their first pre-season fixture against Leeds United.

Manager Ruben Amorim saw new signings Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon in action for the first time against Leeds. They are expected to get more game time against West Ham.

Forward Bryan Mbeumo could make his debut, but it remains to be seen whether Amorim will play him alongside Cunha.

West Ham beat Swiss side Grasshopper Club Zurich in their first pre-season game.

The London outfit defeated United twice in the league last season and finished one point ahead of them.

They have bolstered their side by signing full-back Kyle Walker-Peters, forward Daniel Cummings, and Senegalese defender El Hadji Malick Diouf.

They have also signed centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo permanently from French side Nice.

MUTV subscribers can watch the action live on ManUtd.com or in the United App, except for US-based fans.

Key players

Man United

Bruno Fernandes: The Portuguese midfielder was not at his best against Leeds and will be hoping to regain momentum in this game.

Matheus Cunha: He impressed against Daniel Farke’s side, combining well with Leon on the left side of the attack.

West Ham

Lucas Paqueta: The Brazilian midfielder scored in the victory over Grasshopper. He is expected to step up following the departure of forward Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham Hotspur.

Jarrod Bowen: The England international is Graham Potter’s best forward. He registered the most goal involvements for the Hammers last season.
