Momentum back after Selhurst Park response
Manchester United head into Thursday’s clash with West Ham looking to build on their 2-1 away win at Crystal Palace. A much-improved second half at Selhurst Park helped erase some of the negativity that followed the home defeat to 10-man Everton.
Amorim answers questions – for now
That Everton loss snapped a five-match unbeaten run and reignited doubts about Ruben Amorim’s tactics and suitability for such a high-profile job. The reaction against Palace, though, offered a timely reminder that his team can adjust and respond under pressure.
Four transfers on the table
Away from the pitch, Amorim is reportedly ready to sanction up to four transfers as he continues reshaping the squad. The idea is to trim areas he considers overloaded while opening space for reinforcements in positions he feels need more quality and depth.
Huge Bryan Mbeumo update and AFCON clarity
There has also been a major update regarding Bryan Mbeumo and how AFCON involvement could affect his availability. Clarity over the tournament ruling is helping United plan their winter schedule and squad rotation with more certainty.
Quick turnaround before Old Trafford test
With West Ham struggling and coming to Old Trafford on Thursday night, United see this as a chance to string together back-to-back league wins. Another positive result would steady the mood around Amorim and give further support to his longer-term plans on and off the pitch.
