Manchester United vs West Ham LIVE Football Score 30 Oct 2022

Manchester United clash with West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday, with the Red Devils looking for their second win at Old Trafford this week, having ran out 3-0 winners against Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday night in the Europa League.

The Hammers also come into the game off the back of a victory in continental competition, defeating Silkeborg 1-0 in the Europa Conference League.

Cristiano Ronaldo was restored to the squad against Tiraspol after being omitted by Erik ten Hag for the trip to Chelsea, and he rewarded his manager with the third goal, putting it beyond all doubt that the Red Devils would qualify for the Europa League knockout stages.

After some shaky performances earlier this season, namely the 4-0 loss at Brentford and a 6-3 defeat against bitter rivals Manchester City, Man United now look to be putting a run together, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in their last Premier League game at Old Trafford, with Fred and Bruno Fernandes bagging second-half goals.

Then came a difficult trip to Stamford Bridge, where United looked to be heading towards a 1-0 loss when Jorginho converted an 87th-minute penalty, but a last-gasp equaliser from Casemiro ensured that Ten Hag’s men took a point from the tricky away fixture.

Now sixth in the Premier League table, the Red Devils will go into this weekend’s round of fixtures just one point off the top four, having also played one game less than both Tottenham and Newcastle United, who occupy third and fourth respectively.

United are undefeated in front of their own fans since their opening day 2-1 defeat against Brighton, and with the impressive victories against Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham all coming on home soil, they will be confident going into the game, particularly considering West Ham have not won at Old Trafford in the Premier League since 2007.

The Hammers made a slow start in domestic action this season, losing their opening three games, a run that left them bottom of the Premier League table after a 2-0 home defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Since then, there have been signs of recovery for the Irons, now up to 10th in the league standings after notching four wins, the most recent of which coming in controversial fashion against Bournemouth, with the first goal in a 2-0 victory being checked by VAR amid concern that it hit Thilo Kehrer‘s hand before Kurt Zouma scored from close range.

Nayef Aguerd getting 75 minutes of action against Silkeborg was a welcome sight for West Ham fans, his first competitive appearance for the Hammers after suffering an ankle injury against Rangers in a July friendly, but Moyes has indicated that he will not play in the Premier League before the World Cup.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Fred; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford

West Ham United possible starting lineup:
