It’s another quick turnaround for Manchester United as they head to Vicarage Road tomorrow night to take on Watford in Premier League play. Let’s take a look at who United manager Jose Mourinho could place in his first team when the Red Devils do battled with the Hornets in Hertfordshire.
Mourinho did say that he felt he played too many attackers on Saturday in the 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, so perhaps we will see an approach that’s in stark contrast come Tuesday night.
Romelu Lukaku
Anthony Martial Juan Mata Marcus Rashford
Nemanja Matic Paul Pogba
Ashley Young Marcos Rojo Chris Smalling Antonio Valencia
David de Gea
For the MUFC vs Watford injury report go to this link.
We decided to place all three scoring threats- Martial, Rashford and Lukaku in our line-up prediction up front. In the back line, Rojo seems like the only healthy and available choice to pair up with Smalling right now. Watford come into this match eighth in the table with 21 points.
Odds: Man Utd 4/6, draw 14/5, Watford 4/1
Prediction: United 2, Watford 1
