The Hammers received a boost tonight when it was revealed that Manchester United winger Nani has joined a growing Old Trafford injury list.

United manager David Moyes confirmed he would miss tomorrow’s game when he said: “Nani has a hamstring injury which is a little bit worse than we thought,” said Moyes.

He joins  Robin van Persie and Michael Carrick as absentees with Wayne Rooney another major doubt as he battles a groin strain .

Moyes said: “He has a chance. We will see how he is tomorrow.”

Should he miss the match, Moyes will turn to Ashley Young and  Danny Welbeck.
