A total of 37 per cent backed the departing hosts to get the party started by taking all three points in this last hurrah.
Of course this means 25 per cent expect an anticlimactic draw and with such divided opinion this may not be the worst shout at odds of 12/5.
Louis van Gaal’s men go into the game as slight favourites at 29/20, while it’s 2/1 the Hammers give next year’s 52,000+ season ticket holders cause for optimism ahead of the new campaign.
