Erik ten Hag insists Harry Maguire is desperate to make an impact on his return to the Manchester United starting line up this weekend. United are back in action as they host West Ham at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Ten Hag has made four changes from the side that defeated FC Sheriff in midweek, with Luke Shaw starting over Tyrell Malacia at left-back and club captain Maguire replacing Victor Lindelof, who missed the game through illness.
Anthony Elanga comes in for the injured Antony and Marcus Rashford has been handed a start in place of the impressive Alejandro Garnacho.

Speaking ahead of the match, Ten Hag confirmed his line-up and explained why he was confident Maguire would make an impact on his return to the side.
"Yeah, he was ready to start already on Thursday," Ten Hag told MUTV. "He was ready. Then he played 45 minutes, I think it was, especially after all, the best choice to get in. He had had some training days with the team, now he had half a game. Now he is ready to play."
