Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has revealed that two mystery players are doubtful for their upcoming Premier League clash against West Ham United on Thursday. Amorim declined to name the players in question, stating that he did not want to reveal his tactical approach ahead of the game.

The news comes as a blow to United, who are looking to build momentum after a 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace. Amorim's side are aiming to secure back-to-back wins in the Premier League.

Adding to the uncertainty, Harry Maguire and Benjamin Sesko remain sidelined due to their respective injuries. Maguire is still recovering from a thigh injury sustained in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur before the international break. Sesko, who also suffered an injury in the same match, is nursing a knee problem and is expected to be out for a little longer.

However, there is some positive news for United fans as Matheus Cunha is back in contention for the West Ham game. The Brazilian forward has recovered from a head injury sustained in training that kept him out of the last two matches against Everton and Crystal Palace. Cunha confirmed his return to training with a post on social media.

Despite Cunha's return, Amorim has challenged the forward to improve his game, noting that he has more levels to reach. Amorim believes that Cunha was putting too much pressure on himself to score goals and needs to focus on his overall influence on the team.

In other team news, Bruno Fernandes suffered a knock in the closing stages of the game against Crystal Palace, but Amorim has confirmed that he is fit to play.

With a busy December schedule ahead, Amorim will be eager to have as many players available as possible. United are set to miss Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui for games against Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Bournemouth as the trio prepare to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations. Matches against Leeds United and Burnley are also scheduled for December.

West Ham will be without Lucas Paqueta due to his red card against Liverpool. Amorim is confident that West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo will be able to navigate the team despite Paqueta's absence.

Manchester United have lost four of their last five league meetings with West Ham.
