Man Utd fans snap up Ronaldo shirts at Old Trafford
Manchester United are expected to make changes for today’s Premier League clash with West Ham. And, after his red card against Young Boys in midweek, it’s possible Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be benched for Diogo Dalot. If that happens, the latter’s prowess in attack means he could be perfect when it comes to getting even more from Cristiano Ronaldo.

And, given Ronaldo’s prowess in the air, throwing him into the starting XI is a gamble that’s worth taking.
United’s No 7 has previously had joy against West Ham when it comes to getting good deliveries from out wide, scoring against them away from home in 2008.
And if United can give him similar service on Sunday from Dalot, they stand every chances of taking all three points.
David Moyes, however, is determined to stop Ronaldo from running riot.
And the former United manager, speaking ahead of the showdown in the capital, believes his old side are capable of winning the title this season.
