Ruben Amorim left Leny Yoro out of his starting eleven against West Ham and turned to Noussair Mazraoui, while giving Ayden Heaven his first start and omitting Matthijs de Ligt from the squad, insisting the decision on Yoro was a deliberate tactical call rather than punishment. After Yoro conceded a penalty at Crystal Palace and was visibly distraught on the bench, Amorim said the young defender overthinks mistakes and must handle setbacks better, praising Mason Mount’s support, stressing that Yoro remains fit and available, but that United urgently needed a different profile for a must win match.

At 33, Callum Wilson insists his England dream is not over, revealing he still writes World Cup ambitions in his daily journal and believes a strong run of games and goals for West Ham can push him back into Thomas Tuchel’s plans before the final squad is named. Wilson says he previously wrote his way to Qatar 2022 despite doubters and now targets 100 Premier League goals, arguing that deep self-belief is often labelled delusion by others but has repeatedly driven him to return from injuries, ignore Saudi offers and prove critics wrong.
