Graham Potter’s arrival at West Ham United has given the club and fans optimism for a bright future.
Under former manager Julen Lopetegui, they struggled to get going and failed to find consistency.
West Ham United’s decision to part ways with Lopetegui comes as no surprise and was something that was coming given their results and performances after a summer transfer window in which they spent a lot of money.
The Hammers are now linked to move for Man United striker Marcus Rashford and football expert Darren Bent is excited about the transfer rumor.
The England striker faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford after being dropped by manager Ruben Amorim.
Some major European clubs are chasing the Man United star and West Ham have now joined the race to bring him to the London Stadium.
Bent has expressed his excitement about Rashford playing for the Hammers.
He said live talkSPORT [9 January, 4:51pm]:
“I understand that [a deal is unlikely]but there is something exciting about Rashford on the left and [Jarrod] Bowen on the right.
Can Marcus Rashford really join West Ham United?

The Hammers would struggle to match his massive salary and, while the move would make sense on paper, it would be financially disastrous for the club.
The Man United star is reportedly earning £300,000-a-week at Old Trafford and the Hammers would have to break down their structure to match that.
There is also a general feeling at West Ham that the 27-year-old would prefer to join a big European club to continue his football at the highest level.
The attacker is want to move to Serie Awhere clubs like AC Milan and Juventus have shown interest in signing him.
