These strong results have boosted United’s position in the league standings. Bruno Fernandes and his teammates currently sit fourth with 44 points.
In contrast to United’s success, West Ham is still struggling near the bottom of the table. The Hammers are currently 18th in the standings with 23 points, having only secured 6 wins from 25 matches.
Despite being favored on paper, Michael Carrick has cautioned his team against underestimating West Ham. “I perceive they [West Ham] are very good in transition, very dangerous,” Carrick said, as reported by The Sun.
“They have some very good attacking players. So we’ve looked at them and have a picture of what they do, as they have for us. But they are a threat and when they are good at home, they are a dangerous team and we have to deal with all of that.”
West Ham has proven to be a challenging opponent for United in recent years. Since 2023, the London club has won 4 times, drawn once, and lost only 2 times in 7 Premier League encounters against the Red Devils.
