Dimitar Berbatov has predicted how the match between Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United and David Moyes’s West Ham United will pan out.
The former Manchester United striker has said that there will be four goals in the game.
So, which team does Dimitar Berbatov back to win at Old Trafford this weekend? Let’s take a look.
Dimitar Berbatov backs Manchester United to win vs West Ham United
Well, Manchester United will take on West Ham United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Red Devils are seventh in the league table with 35 points from 22 matches. Erik ten Hag’s side are eight points off the final UEFA Champions League spot.
There is still a chance that Manchester United could launch a challenge for the top four, but winning the league title this season is now out of the question.
Meanwhile, West Ham currently find themselves sixth in the Premier League table with 36 points from 22 matches.
Like the Red Devils, the Hammers will fancy their chances of finishing in the top four, but it is going to be hard.
Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has backed the home team to pick up all three points from the encounter at Old Trafford courtesy of a 3-1 win.
While predicting a 3-1 win for the Red Devils, Berbatov told Metro: “David Moyes will be back at Old Trafford where it did not go well for him. Since then though, look at the job he is doing at West Ham, a trophy, pushing for Europe again and still in the Europa League.
“Man United, well they need results, especially at home where they have lost too many matches. They need to take the attention out of what’s happening off the pitch, so I’ll go with them to win this one at home.”
My View: West Ham United could win vs Manchester United
In my opinion, West Ham United could be able to win against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.
While the Hammers, who wanted to sign Ismaila Sarr in the January transfer window, have drawn their last three Premier League games, they won two before that run.
Manchester United are a very consistent team. The Red Devils have won two and lost two of their last five league games.
Erik ten Hag’s side got the better of Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday only because of a stunning late goal from Kobbie Mainoo.
