David Moyes confirms double West Ham injury blow ahead of Manchester United clash

Manchester United will be looking for revenge against West Ham this weekend after losing the reverse fixture 2-0 at the London Stadium in December.

West Ham manager David Moyes has confirmed they are still without forwards Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio for their trip to Old Trafford.

The Hammers are aiming to do the double over United but their form has dipped in recent weeks. Moyes’ side drew 1-1 against Bournemouth on Thursday, which was their third consecutive stalemate in the league.

When asked about team news at his pre-match press conference, Moyes told reporters (via BBC Sport): “I can’t really tell you right now. It’s a quick turnaround but hopefully everyone will be okay. There’s no more update from where we were.

“We’re still dealing with the players that have been injured, and that’s where we are. Lucas Paqueta won’t be back this weekend and Michael Antonio is back running on the grass.”

Meanwhile, Vladimir Coufal could start at right-back having served his suspension. Nayef Aguerd is back following his participation at the Africa Cup of Nations.

United picked up three points last time out following a dramatic 4-3 win over Wolves at Molineux Stadium. The win took a bit of pressure off Erik ten Hag but it counts for nothing unless we pick up another set of three points on Sunday.
