Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire are expected to keep their places in the heart of defence, with Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka manning either side of the flank.
Solskjaer will have a lot to ponder on in the middle of the park but could be tempted to start Fred to match up the energy of Declan Rice and Soucek.
Bruno Fernandes is almost certain to take his place in the hole having connected quite well with Cristiano Ronaldo who is expected to lead the goal hunt.
Having missed United's midweek trip to Young Boys, Mason Greenwood is expected to join Ronaldo upfront, with Paul Pogba playing in the left-wing.
The set-up will see both Jesse Lindgard and Jadon Sancho, who has had a slow start to life at Old Trafford settling for a place on the bench.
Possible Man United line up vs West Ham:
Goalkeeper: David de Gea
Defenders: Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw
Midfielders: Fred, Fernandes, Pogba
Forwards: Greenwood, Ronaldo
