The Red Devils host Norwich City on Saturday night, desperate to get back their season into right track. The Manchester club have not won the last five games in all competitions. Norwich are in more scrutiny from fans, as they are still lingering in the relegation zone.
Louis Van Gaal's football strategy has picked a lot of criticism from fans and pundits, who have accused his brand of football as boring. United have scored only 21 goals in this league season, the worst goal scoring stat among top four teams. However, their defence has stood resolute, conceding only 12 goals, the best in the league.
Similar to United, Alex Neil's Norwich have been equally dismal in front of the goal, scoring only 14 times. Apart from Nathan Redmond and Russell Martin, no player has scored more than three goals this season for the Canaries. They are currently positioned at 18th in the table, with only 14 points from 16 games.
The fourth-placed United will look to win on style, and bring back the entertaining football for which they are renowned. But it is certain that Norwich will make United work for that, as they have did against Manchester City and Arsenal in recent weeks.
Predicted lineups:
Manchester United: De Gea (GK), Darmian, Smalling, Rojo, Blind, Fellaini, Schneiderlein, Mata, Rooney, Depay, Martial
Norwich City: Ruddy (GK), Bassong, Bennett, Olsson, Wisdom, Brady, O'Neil, Hoolahan, Redmund, Mulumbu, Howson
