Erik ten Hag explains why Christian Eriksen starts for Manchester United vs West Ham

Erik ten Hag has switched up his Manchester United side to play West Ham by bringing Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Wout Weghorst into the team.

Weghorst last started a game for United in the team's defeat against Newcastle at St. James' Park on April 2. He's been limited to appearances from the bench since that match, but he's returned to the starting side this weekend.

Although United are not planning to sign him on a permanent deal, Ten Hag has decided to start Weghorst against West Ham on Sunday night, which means he'll lead the attack with Marcus Rashford on the left and Antony on the right.
