Ruben Amorim has the green light to hand out a Manchester United debut vs West Ham

Predicting how Manchester United could line up against West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon is an almost impossible task.

United will head into the clash with the Hammers still living off the thrill of booking their place in the Europa League final on Thursday evening, setting up a date with Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao later this month.

United came from behind on the night to beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 and progress 7-1 on aggregate, meaning they advanced without too much fuss in the end.

Having moved one step closer towards achieving their primary ambition of winning the Europa League and securing Champions League qualification for next season, Amorim must navigate United's way through Sunday's clash with West Ham and next Friday night's tussle with Chelsea with the trip to the San Mames Stadium at the forefront of his mind.

The Portuguese chief, who has not seen United win at home in the Premier League since February, must now strike the right balance between not pushing his players too hard and ensuring they do not lose their match sharpness ahead of the club's most important game in years.

But considering the clash with West Ham will arrive less than 72 hours after the clash with Athletic, changes will be inevitable against the Londoners.

For example, Amorim, less than 72 hours after the first leg against Athletic, made eight changes to his starting line-up for the 4-3 defeat to Brentford last Sunday, and it would be no great surprise to see him make a similar number of alterations this weekend.

Patrick Dorgu, Manuel Ugarte and Alejandro Garnacho were the survivors from the team that started the first leg against Athletic, but it feels almost too risky to ask the trio to go again on Sunday.
