West Ham boss wants points and progress
Marcos Rojo remains optimistic about Manchester United’s chances of winning the Premier League. Carroll is back in starvitje, but is not expected to start the match from the first minute.
“I feel supported and as I have said so many times I concentrate on my job and our next game, and that’s basically it”.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says he is not anxious he might lose his job as he has the support of the club’s owners.
Blind, not even a defender to begin with, could be given serious issues is West Ham can get Antonio into the game.

Last season, the French sensation, scored nine times in the Premier League as the east Londoners finished the season 7th.
However, thoughts must now turn to domestic matters and Jose Mourinho will be desperate to see his side reproduce the kind of form they showed against Feyenoord as they’ve fallen out of contention in recent weeks.
Michael Carrick looks set to continue in midfield whilst, with Eric Bailly and Chris Smalling still injured, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo will continue as centre-backs. Payet has been made the highest paid player at West Ham, but they are no competition to United’s financial strength, who can double the midfielder’s salary if need be.
Carroll could make his comeback at Old Trafford after three-and-a-half months out with a knee injury.
“It’s still very tight.
It will be hard but you can’t expect any less in the Premier League, especially as you’re playing Man United away”. With a win against Tottenham we would have been 12th or eleventh, but we are in the position we are.
“Andy has been training with us and is very close”, Bilic said. Like many other clubs we can find where we deserve more and where we were unlucky, but the table doesn’t lie. Their record at Old Trafford is hardly encouraging either – they haven’t beaten Manchester United there since a famous Carlos Tevez-inspired victory in May 2007, and they’ve lost eight of their ten visits since.
