Manchester United have built up a huge rivalry with numerous sides throughout their long history with Liverpool and Manchester City remaining their biggest foes.
However, the Red Devils have found themselves battling against Premier League teams from all over in recent years, with West Ham adding their name to the list.
David Moyes' frustrating spell in charge at Old Trafford has added an extra layer to their clashes in recent seasons as the Scottish coach attempts to prove his credentials against the best sides. He certainly did his resume no harm when he led West Ham to the UEFA Europa Conference League title in 2023.
These teams will meet again on December 23, with Man United struggling for consistency this season and West Ham reeling off the back of a 5-1 Carabao Cup quarterfinal thrashing by Liverpool at Anfield. So, who will recover quickest?
The Sporting News looks at their head-to-head record in previous meetings and compares their respective trophy list.
