West Ham United are all set to face Manchester United in a big friendly match on Saturday night (Sunday morning in the UK).
The match will be played at the huge MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA. Kick-off is at 12 midnight UK time.
This game is part of the Premier League Summer Series, a pre-season tournament in the USA, also featuring Everton and Bournemouth.
It’s a great chance for teams to get ready for the new Premier League season.

Hammers Ready to Hammer!
West Ham have been working hard in training. They spent time in Germany and won their last friendly 3-1 against Grasshoppers.
Manager Graham Potter is happy with the team’s progress so far.
West Ham have brought some new players to the squad, including Kyle Walker-Peters and El Hadji Malick Diouf.
Both could play in this match. Young striker Callum Marshall will be looking to score again, after finding the net in the last game.
Some players are missing though, Edson Álvarez is still joining up with the team after international duty, and a few others are recovering from injuries back home.
Big Changes for Manchester United
Man United had a tough season last year. They finished 15th in the Premier League, their worst finish in many years.
But now they’ve got a new manager, Rúben Amorim, who wants to bring back the glory days.
New signings like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo will be key players to watch.

Some big names like Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho may leave the club soon, so fans might not see them in action.
United have played a few friendlies already this summer, losing to the ASEAN All-Stars, beating Hong Kong, and drawing with Leeds.
History and Rivalry
Man United and West Ham have played each other many times.
United have won more games overall, but West Ham beat them twice last season, once at London Stadium and once at Old Trafford.
West Ham’s top scorer Jarrod Bowen scored in both games, and fans will be hoping for more of the same in this match.
What’s Next?
After this game, both clubs will play more matches in the USA before heading back to England. Manchester United will face Bournemouth and Everton, while West Ham will continue their US tour too.
This match in New Jersey should be a fun one, with goals, new players, and a big crowd expected. Let’s see who comes out on top in this exciting pre-season battle!
