Manchester United
- Manchester United have made a solid start to the 2025-2026 Premier League campaign, sitting seventh with 21 points from 13 matches, following Ruben Amorim’s appointment as boss in November 2024.
- They’ve won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five Premier League matches, bouncing back from a home defeat to Everton by winning 2-1 away at Crystal Palace in their most recent outing. For those interested in the Manchester United vs West Ham betting tips, this recent form will be especially relevant.
- Amorim has installed a possession-based, high-pressing style of play at Old Trafford, with wingbacks and wingers providing width in a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 system.
- United have won four of their six home league games this season, averaging 1.83 goals per game.
