Today’s Premier League matchup pits Manchester United against West Ham United at Old Trafford.

On Thursday, the Red Devils defeated Athletic Bilbao 7-1 on aggregate to get to the Europa League final.

On May 21, they play Tottenham Hotspur in the eagerly anticipated final at San Mames.

For the game today, we expect a lot of rotation. Amorim might start a more potent lineup against Chelsea in order to get ready for the Europa League final.

This might open the door for Jaydan Kamason, a right wing-back, to make his complete debut.

Due to Amorim’s reluctance to jeopardize his fitness, Noussair Mazraoui did not play in the 4-3 league loss against Brentford.

Due to exhaustion, the Moroccan was substituted out of the game in the second half of Thursday’s 4-1 victory over Athletic.

If the 27-year-old is not included in the matchday squad today, we won’t be shocked.

On the road against the Bees, Patrick Dorgu started at right wing-back, but Amorim might also choose to give him a break.

When healthy and able to play, Dorgu has been a consistent starter; however, following a hard game against Athletic, he might be rested.

In that scenario, if Amad plays offensive midfield, Kamason might get his debut (at RWB). Due to a calf injury, Diogo Dalot is not playing.

The 18-year-old has been an unused substitute for the last four Europa League games.

Kamason is a dynamic right-back who has struck the eye with his stand-out displays for the development squads.

He has an attacking sense, excellent ball-carrying ability, and lightning-fast speed. Amorim clearly appreciates his attributes.

Against the Hammers, we think there’s a good chance the manager will start Kamason at right wing-back.

Last month, Tyler Fredricson made an unexpected debut. Kamason might finally have the opportunity to show off his skills.
