Manchester United kicked off their Premier League Summer Series campaign with a 2\u20131 victory over West Ham United<\/strong> at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, thanks to a brace from captain Bruno Fernandes<\/strong>. The match marked a promising start to United\u2019s preseason tour in the United States, as new manager R\u00faben Amorim<\/strong> looks to rebuild after a disappointing 15th-place finish last season<\/p>\n\n\n\n
