Why Manchester United vs West Ham is not on TV this Sunday with fans unable to watch Old Trafford clash

Manchester United will look to carry the euphoria of reaching the Europa League final into their clash with West Ham this weekend.

Ruben Amorim enjoyed his best night as United manager after a 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday secured a 7-1 aggregate success.

The 40-year-old has made no secret of the fact that he has prioritised UEFA glory at the expense of the club’s domestic form.

However, with the Europa League final just weeks away, his side will need to start building momentum ahead of facing Tottenham.

United are winless in their past six Premier League matches, and haven’t won a top-flight game at Old Trafford since mid-February.

West Ham could represent the perfect team to snap out of that unwanted streak as the Irons are two points and places below Amorim’s men.

Only the relegated trio of Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton have picked up fewer Premier League points than the Hammers since Graham Potter’s first game in charge in January.

West Ham are on an even worse winless run than United, and failure to secure three points here will equal the nine-match streak the west Londoners endured in May 2011.
