Man Utd face West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday night and here is the early team news.

The 20-year-old was not spotted as part of the 20-man squad that travelled down from Stockport station on the eve of the match, but is understood to be part of the matchday party for the clash at the London Stadium. United are due to arrive at the stadium roughly 90 minutes before kick-off, with the starting line up confirmed at 7pm GMT.

Yoro also took to social media earlier in the day to drop a hint ahead of his anticipated involvement in the match. The French defender posted a personalised matchday graphic to his Instagram story that showed him in a United shirt, along with the details of Tuesday's fixture.

Yoro involved vs West Ham

Manchester United are expected to name Leny Yoro in their matchday squad to face West Ham United tonight.

The 20-year-old has actually made more appearances for United this season than he did across his debut campaign, but is one of the biggest losers from their recent change of formation. The French youngster was always more likely to get playing time as part of a back three than he was in a central defensive partnership under Carrick.

It means United are set to be without just three senior stars against West Ham, with Matthijs De Ligt, Patrick Dorgu and Mason Mount sidelined due to injury. Mount will be back for the trip to face Everton later this month, while De Ligt could return to action next month. Dorgu is not expected back until after the March international break after he suffered a hamstring injury in the recent win over Arsenal.

"Mason will be probably not for Tuesday, probably after, but definitely going into the Everton game, yeah, he'll be back," Carrick said in his pre-match press conference. "Matta, we'll see how he develops over the, you know… the Everton game feels like a long time away at the moment, so we'll see how he develops, but he's positive, he's moving in the right direction, but Mason's a little bit closer than him."

Manchester United confirmed travelling squad vs West Ham: Bayindir, Heaton, Lammens; Maguire, Martinez, Yoro, Mazraoui, Heaven, Dalot, Shaw, Malacia; Casemiro, Ugarte, Mainoo, Fletcher, Fernandes; Amad, Mbeumo, Cunha, Zirkzee, Sesko.
