MANCHESTER UNITED welcome West Ham to Old Trafford on Super Sunday.
The Red Devils go into the clash on a high after booking their spot in the Europa League final on Thursday night.
All Ruben Amorim’s side had to do was avoid a catastrophic collapse at Old Trafford after they won the first leg of their semi-final with Athletic Bilbao 3-0.
But Man Utd piled on the misery for the Spaniards, smashing the LaLiga side 4-1 in the return leg.
The Red Devils will face Tottenham in a blockbuster all-English final at the end of the month, and Amorim will be hoping his side can carry on the momentum as they host West Ham this weekend in the Premier League.
Fans tuning into the match will notice that the Man Utd players are playing in a slightly different kit to normal – SunSport reveals why below.
