Suddenly in blistering form since their change in management, Manchester United put a four-match Premier League winning streak to the test as they visit relegation-threatened West Ham on Tuesday.

Since discarding Ruben Amorim and installing Michael Carrick as interim boss, the Red Devils are on fire, having toppled Manchester City, Arsenal, Fulham, and Tottenham in successive games.

The sudden burst has launched them into contention for Champions League qualification, with United sitting fourth in the league standings. Yet Carrick's side cannot let up if they wish to return to Europe's top competition, as a litany of clubs are just behind them waiting to pounce.

For West Ham, the situation is far more dire. Three wins in their past four have given the Hammers life, but they still sit 18th in the standings, three points back of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest.

West Ham vs. Man United key moments

2 hours to kickoff: Michael Carrick has rejuvenated Manchester United seemingly in an instant. His first task after being hired as interim boss was to put Bruno Fernandes back in a starring role on the pitch.

The move has worked wonders, as Carrick has suggested — not without merit — that Fernandes is playing like the MVP of the league right now. "Yeah, quite possibly," the United manager pondered when asked if that were the case.

Since returning from injury, Fernandes has delivered a goal and five assists in five Premier League matches. The Portugal star now has 74 chances created this season in league play, twenty-seven more than anyone else, an astonishing total compared to the rest of the league.
