Manchester United Team News & Preview
Manchester United travel to West Brom for their next Premier League game this weekend.
The Red Devils have now won two back to back league games against Spurs and Crystal Palace. Jose Mourinho’s men had drawn three consecutive games prior to that.
After a massive summer outlay, United were expected to challenge for the title. However, they have had a rough start and are sixth in the table right now. Finishing fourth should be their current objective and Mourinho cannot afford to drop points against the weaker teams now.
Chris Smalling, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly are all injured and will miss the trip to West Brom.
Predicted Manchester United Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Darmian; Herrera, Carrick; Mata, Pogba, Martial; Ibrahimovic
