The Red Devils started their campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Young Boys, but the Premier League giants’ form away from Europe has put Jose Mourinho under intense pressure.
Manchester United were eliminated from the Carabao Cup and are without a win in the domestic league since the trip to Switzerland.
Young, who captained his side against the Hammers, picked up an injury at London Stadium and will not feature on Tuesday evening.
Diogo Dalot and Antonio Valencia are battling for a place in Mourinho’s starting eleven to replace the veteran left-back.
‘Apart from Marcos Rojo, now we have Ander Herrera, Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard out,’ Special One told MUTV. ‘I prefer the doctor to speak, but they are not in [the right] conditions.’
The Portuguese manager is expecting a challenging match against Valencia despite the Spanish side losing to a 10-man Juventus in the first match.
‘The Champions League week is always a good week,’ the Portuguese said.
‘Even if you expect a difficult match, a difficult opponent. ‘It’s a big week. Everyone wants to play [in the] Champions League, not everyone can do it. So we are here and we have the chance to play a big match. So, big match, big week.’
