West Ham vs. Man Utd: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Revitalised West Ham United and resurrected Manchester United both aimed to maintain their recent momentum in the Premier League when they met at the London Stadium on matchday 26 of the 2025-26 campaign.

The Hammers appeared to be cruising to a rather comfortable 1-0 win thanks to a Tomas Soucek goal, with the Red Devils largely toothless throughout the match.

However, a late Benjamin Sesko flicked finish snatched a point from the jaws of defeat for Manchester United, meaning they remain unbeaten in the five games since Michael Carrick took charge of the club on a caretaker basis.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two clubs.

There have been 60 Premier League meetings between the two sides, with Man United recording 34 wins, while West Ham have only beaten the Red Devils on 11 occasions in the competition.

One of those victories for the Hammers came at the London Stadium in 2022-23, with the success ending a five-game winning run for Man United in Premier League encounters with the London club.

Nine of West Ham's Premier League wins over the Red Devils have come at home, including a 2-0 victory in December 2023, with the exceptions being a 1-0 success at Old Trafford in the middle of the 2001-02 campaign and a victory at the Theatre of Dreams in May 2025.

The two teams met three times during the 2022-23 season, with Man United winning their two home fixtures, including a 3-1 success in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The 20-time English champions last won at West Ham in the Premier League in September 2021, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Jesse Lingard on the scoresheet at the London Stadium. However, Erik ten Hag's side beat the Hammers 3-0 in the Premier League at Old Trafford in February 2024.

Wayne Rooney is the leading goalscorer in this fixture with 12, while George Best managed 11 goals against West Ham, with Sir Geoff Hurst joint-third in the standings on 10 alongside Sir Bobby Charlton.

The 2025-26 season saw both fixtures end with 1-1 scorelines, with a late West Ham equaliser at Old Trafford in December 2025, followed by a late Sesko equaliser at the London Stadium in February 2026.
