West Ham (Home) – 4 December 2016 (League Cup Quarter Final)

English football has become incredibly competitive in recent years following the arrival of incomprehensible amounts of foreign investment and some of the best managers from world football. Where once only a handful of clubs seriously considered themselves as realistic challengers for trophies and silverware, there are now a host of teams that fancy their chances. United are a football club that thrive on success and the League Cup provides the perfect opportunity for Mourinho to seize and lift aloft a cup in his first season.

United’s reward for seeing off the challenge of Manchester City in the previous round is a favourable home-tie against struggling West Ham United. They are expected to win and in the process comfortably progress in the semi-finals, however, West Ham beat second-placed Chelsea in their previous cup-tie making this something of a banana-skin.
