Manchester United have been absolutely dreadful lately, totally falling apart after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed full time manager for some bizarre reason. Now the chances of making the top four are all but gone, but hey, it’s not over until the last day, so if they can take of business, and Chelsea’s opponents do the same, well UCL qualification can still happen.
Huddersfield, the next opponent, is exactly who the Reds want to be playing right now. United have only lost one of their last 15 meetings across all competitions; in October 2017. With no draws in this sample of matches, United have won the other 14.
Here is our best educated guess as to what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may go with in his first team selection.
Manchester United Starting XI Prediction at Huddersfield Town
Attack: Marcus Rashford Jesse Lingard Juan Mata
Midfielders: Paul Pogba Nemanja Matic Ander Herrera
