Manchester United will be looking to make it back-to-back wins and follow up Sunday's 2-1 success at Crystal Palace when West Ham visit Old Trafford on Thursday.

Ruben Amorim's side ended a three-game winless run by producing a spirited second-half comeback to beat Palace, with goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount cancelling out Jean-Phillipe Mateta's opener.

While Amorim is dealing with an almost fully fit squad, he still has a couple of injury and fitness issues to deal with. Harry Maguire, Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha have missed the last two matches, but the United head coach is expected to welcome one of the injured trio back for the game against the Hammers.

Meanwhile, Amorim also confirmed in his pre-match press conference that he has two fresh doubts from the win at Palace. However, he refused to name either of the stricken duo.

Despite this, here is a look at the latest from the treatment room at Carrington.

Matheus Cunha

Injury: Knock

Cunha provided an injury boost by revealing on social media that he is back in training ahead of Thursday's game. Taking to his Instagram story, he's shared a picture with a caption reading: "Back Back Back."

Now, Amorim has confirmed that the Brazilian is available again, after missing the last two matches.

What Amorim has said: "We have two doubts for the game, it will change the way we're going to approach it, let's see if they can play. The rest of the squad is good. Matheus is back. Harry and Sesko are still out."

Potential return date: vs West Ham (H), Thursday, December 4

Benjamin Sesko

Injury: Knee

Former RB Leipzig man Sesko was forced off the pitch in the second half against Tottenham before the international break and has missed the last two matches. But, unlike Cunha, Thursday's game at home to West Ham is going to come too soon for the Slovenia international, who is still out.

What Amorim has said: "We have two doubts for the game, it will change the way we're going to approach it, let's see if they can play. The rest of the squad is good. Matheus is back. Harry and Sesko are still out."

Potential return date: vs Bournemouth (H), Monday, December 15

Harry Maguire

Injury: Hamstring

England centre-back Maguire suffered the injury during the 2-2 draw with Tottenham before the international break and, like Cunha and Sesko, sat out of the last two matches against Everton and Palace.

What Amorim has said: "We have two doubts for the game, it will change the way we're going to approach it, let's see if they can play. The rest of the squad is good. Matheus is back. Harry and Sesko are still out."
