Norwich City v Manchester United Prediction – Manchester United line-up

Manchester United will hope to return to winning ways when they face Norwich City at Carrow Road this Sunday. 

After a fairly under-par start to the season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men got a credible point against Liverpool on Sunday, before getting away at Partizan in the Europa League on Thursday.

They now have to continue this small resurgence and get a win against the Canaries to move up the table. It won’t be easy though as Daniel Farke’s men could be difficult opponents at home, as Manchester City found out few weeks back.

Team News

Eric Bailly until December, while Paul Pogba and Axel Tuanzebe won’t return before middle of November. Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Diogo Dalot have no return dates. Luke Shaw is a doubt for this game.

Predicted Manchester United XI

Formation – 4-2-3-1

Manager – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

David de Gea (GK)

The Spaniard rested the Europa League game, but he should be in goal for the game on Sunday.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (RB)

The summer signing is United’s first-choice right-back. He is certain to start against Norwich.

Victor Lindelof (CB)

Lindelof has been in and out of form so far this season. He is still United’s first-choice centre-back and will start on Sunday.

Harry Maguire (CB)

World’s most expensive defender played on Thursday and captained the team. He is certain to at least start the league game.

Ashley Young (LB)

With Shaw a doubt, Young would lead the team out and start at left-back this weekend.

Scott McTominay (CM)

The youngster has had a good start to this season amidst traversity around the team’s performances. He is certain to start against the Canaries.

Fred (CM)

The Brazilian played well against Liverpool last week. That should warrant him another start this Sunday.

Daniel James (RW)

The youngster played well against the Reds and assisted a goal in that game. He is one of the certainties to start against Norwich.

Andreas Pereira (CAM)

Pereira hasn’t been United’s best player this season, but he certainly gives his all whenever on the pitch. He must start this weekend to add energy to the midfield.

Anthony Martial (LW)

The Frenchman is back to full fitness and should start on the left-wing. He can cut inside on to his right foot and cause havoc among Norwich defenders.
