Manchester United continues their pre-season schedule against West Ham in New Jersey. Key new signings, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, could participate. Defender Leny Yoro emphasized the need for a mentality shift in training, expressing commitment to rigorous sessions. West Ham has added centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo permanently and signed El Hadji Malick Diouf. Midfielder Tomas Soucek expressed confidence in Diouf based on positive recommendations. West Ham recently secured a 3-1 victory over Grasshopper Club Zurich with goals from Andy Irving, Callum Marshall, and Lucas Paqueta. Defender Lisandro Martinez aims for a return next season after injury.
"The coach said we need to change our mentality in training," defender Leny Yoro said after United's first training session, speaking to United's website, which reported that manager Ruben Amorim was up before 06:00 local time on Thursday to prepare for an early training session in cooler conditions. "We're here to work. If we need to do two training [sessions] a day, we're going to. We need to continue like this."
"I really trust him because I've watched him play many times and I know he has a great reputation," midfielder Tomas Soucek said of Diouf, praising West Ham's "great sessions" during their preparations so far. "My old team-mates and coaches from Slavia all say really positive things about him. I've seen fresh faces and strong motivation from everyone, and it's important now we keep building towards the start of the season."
