Amorim shocks fans with bold lineup to face the Hammers

After a 0-0 stalemate with Leeds United in Stockholm last weekend, the Reds are hoping to start the US leg of Tour 2025 presented by Snapdragon on a high note.

The match at MetLife Stadium, which begins at 0:00 BST and is broadcast live on MUTV to viewers outside of the United States, will not feature our head coach's new kid Bryan Mbeumo.

Being earlier in his preseason preparations than the rest of the team and not yet ready to play a game, the Brentford acquisition is being eased into life with the Reds.


But Matheus Cunha, another one of our attractive recruits, makes a fresh start.

Though both players might easily move places at some point, Bruno Fernandes appears destined to play in an advanced role while Kobbie Mainoo plays deeper.

Harry Maguire joins the travelling squad and starts on the bench, while Amad plays wing-back.

A knock causes Noussair Mazraoui to miss out.
