After a long and tiring international break for the players, the Premier League returns to action as the Red Devils play West Brom. Manchester United have had a poor start t the Premier League but have lately come up with a few good results. Against newcomers West Brom, the Red Devils will be expected to dominate proceedings, but the away side will look to hit on the counter with pace up front.
Solskjaer will have some casualties in his squad, but most of his starts are likely to be fit. United have constantly failed against smaller oppositions in Solskjaer’s reign, which he will want to change soon. On the other hand, Slaven Bilic will look to outsmart his Norwegian compatriot as West Brom did against Chelsea.
Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester United’s talisman yet again this season and he will be expected to make and score the goals. De Gea has had rest throughout the international break and thus will be fresh. But the fitness of Cavani, Rashford, Martial and Lindelof are still questionable after they suffered a few niggles on or before the international break.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Date – 21st November Saturday
Time – 8:00 PM BST
Venue – Old Trafford Stadium
TEAM NEWS –
Manchester United have a lot of doubtful candidates for this game, including Telles, Cavani, Martial and Lindelof. Shaw will surely miss the game, thus Telles is very likely to get his first start in the Premier League. Cavani has been in contact with some of the Uruguayan teammates who have tested positive for the coronavirus, and will thus be tested.
Martial and Lindelof also have had injury scares, as both the players got knicks in the international break. Martial trained alone for France whereas, Lindelof came off due to a problem in his back while playing for Sweden. Rashford will also be monitored as he had endured a shoulder injury in the Everton game.
