Man United vs West Ham Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

Joe Vaughan 03 Mar 2026

Manchester United host West Ham at Old Trafford on Thursday night with the potential chance of moving into the top five of the Premier League.

The Red Devils will be eager to return to winning ways at home after last week’s disappointing defeat by Everton who claimed a 1-0 victory despite playing with just 10 men for 75 minutes.

However, Ruben Amorim’s side did bounce back with a 2-1 triumph away at Crystal Palace on Sunday and will be confident of beating a West Ham side who have won just once on their travels this season.

Why We’re Backing Bryan Mbeumo First Goalscorer @ 5/1 with SpreadEx

While Manchester United’s form has continued to stutter this season, Bryan Mbeumo has proved a consistent attacking threat for the Red Devils.
The forward netted 20 goals for Brentford last season with only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland scoring more in the Premier League.
Mbeumo has six goals to his name across all competitions this season and could be a good pick to net first against West Ham having opened the scoring for United against Tottenham and Liverpool since October.
Bryan Mbeumo has scored first for United twice this season.
The forward has six goals for the Red Devils across all competitions.

Man United are unbeaten in their last 17 midweek Premier League home games, winning the last eight in a row.

West Ham United Form/Stats

Player to Watch

If West Ham are to take anything from Thursday night’s match at Old Trafford, Jarrod Bowen will likely be the source of success.

The Hammers captain is a talisman and, despite the team’s struggles, is capable of producing a match winner from out of nothing. Bowen has three goals and one assist to his name this season.
