Nuno Espirito Santo has warned his side of the threat Bruno Fernandes will pose ahead of Manchester United's clash with West Ham. United have the opportunity to move up to third in the table with a win at the London Stadium tonight.
Michael Carrick has inspired an incredible turnaround since being appointed head coach until the end of the season. United have won all four of Carrick's games in charge and will look to make it five in the capital tonight.
West Ham are also enjoying an upturn in form having won four of their last five matches, including a crucial away win over fellow strugglers Burnley in their previous outing. Both sides will be desperate to take all three points tonight for very different reasons and Nuno shared his thoughts ahead of the game while warning his team to be wary of United's captain.
“They’ve been playing really well, you can see by the results," he told TNT Sports. "The way they play, they have threats all over the pitch and they have a player who can really unbalance anyone in Bruno Fernandes. He takes the game so we have to be really spot on.”
Carrick has named an unchanged team for tonight's game meaning Benjamin Sesko must once again wait for his chance to impress from the start. Casemiro retains his place in midfield despite the short turnaround from the Tottenham game. Either Matheus Cunha or Bryan Mbeumo will lead the line.
