Manchester United are back in the Premier League after what has been a very tiring international break for the players. The Red Devils face newcomers West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford and will be expected to take all three points even with a bad home form. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was expected to put out a strong lineup and the Norwegian has obliged and not disappointed.

As expected, Alex Telles has got his first start for the Red Devils in the Premier League after his summer move. Despite reportedly having an injury, Lindelof and Maguire start again as the centre-back pairing for Manchester United. To the shock of some people, Van de Beek still doesn’t get a start, whereas Juan Mata again starts.
The front two of Martial and Rashford will look to cause havoc in the West Brom defence, which is likely to defend deep. Fred and Bruno Fernandes retain their positions in the midfield, whereas Matic will sit deep and conduct the play. Manchester United will be expected to win handsomely, despite having a poor home record.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will look to take all three points as the Premier League title race is still wide open and United might have an outside chance if they remain consistent.
