West Ham - Man Utd: No way back for the "red devils"!

In the last 2 matches, the red team of Manchester did not have the joy of victory. After a 1-1 draw with Wolvehampton in round 6 of the Premier League, Man Utd lost to the team playing in the First Division - Derby County in round 3 of the English League Cup (lost after a penalty shootout). Especially in the last match, Valencia and his teammates played at Old Trafford.

In just 4 days (September 22 - 26), coach Mourinho and his team have made Man Utd fans experience disappointment after disappointment. In the Premier League arena, the "red devils" are temporarily in 7th place. With 10 points in hand, the Old Trafford team is 8 points behind the leading team - Liverpool. The competition for the Premier League championship is becoming much more difficult for the red half of Manchester.

To avoid being left too far behind by the opponents above, the task of coach Mourinho and his team is to try to bring Man Utd back to the winning track as quickly as possible. The away match at West Ham is an opportunity for the Old Trafford team to shorten the gap with Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea... or at least maintain the existing gap. Therefore, Man Utd's goal in the match against West Ham is nothing other than to win all 3 points.

In terms of squad quality, the team led by coach Mourinho is much better. Despite bringing in many new players of "reputation" such as Jack Wilshere, Anderson, Yarmolenko... and the appearance of coach Pellegrini on the coaching bench, West Ham still cannot compare to what the team at Old Trafford owns. In the hands of coach Mourinho are Pogba, Lukaku, De Gea, Rashford, Martial, Sanchez... All of them are top superstars.

However, what the team from Manchester cannot compare to the home team West Ham is the fighting spirit. While coach Pellegrini and his team are excited with the 3-1 victory over Everton (round 5) and the 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea (round 6), the Man Utd dressing room continues to be "stormy" with the conflict between coach Mourinho and midfielder Pogba. Do not forget that in football, fighting spirit always occupies an extremely important position.

Obviously, with the advantage of playing at home and better fighting spirit, West Ham's chance of winning points is not small. If Man Utd cannot win maximum points in this match, coach Mourinho's seat will be even more shaky. Only a victory can help Man Utd hold on to their hopes of competing for the Premier League title and help the "special one" temporarily escape the dangerous spiral./.
