Man United striker Matheus Cunha is expected to return for the Red Devils on Thursday night against West Ham.
Ruben Amorim’s side came off an impressive 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday, and they are now just three points off a top-four place in the Premier League. Their next challenge comes on Thursday night, as they will welcome West Ham to Old Trafford.
The Hammers have won two of their last four matches, but they did lose last time out against Liverpool at the London Stadium. Man United striker Matheus Cunha missed their last game over the weekend with a head injury, but he is expected to come back for the Hammers match.

Ruben Amorim said before the Palace game: “I expect to have Matheus in the next one [West Ham United], not this one.”
Expected return date – Thursday 4 December vs West Ham United
Benjamin Sesko
Sesko is set to miss the West Ham match during the week, as he is still recovering from his knee injury that he suffered last month. It was initially feared to be a serious problem, but upon reflection, concerns calmed, and Sesko should return before Christmas.
Amorim said last week: “Sesko is going to take a little bit more time. It will take a little bit longer, and we are taking care of him.”
As things stand, it looks as though Sesko will return at the weekend against Wolves, if not the game after against Bournemouth on Monday 15 December.
Expected return date – Monday 8 December vs Wolves
Harry Maguire
English centre-back Maguire is also out with an injury at the moment. He is dealing with a hamstring problem that he’s had since November 21. Maguire is still a slight way off coming back, but is also expected back before Christmas.
As things stand, the Bournemouth game is a possible return for Maguire, if not, he could be looking at coming back for the game against Aston Villa on December 21.
Expected return date – Monday 15 December vs Bournemouth
