Norwich City V Manchester United: Team News And Betting Odds

Manchester United have six players who are unlikely to feature against Norwich City this weekend. Paul Pogba is still struggling with a foot injury, while Axel Tuanzebe is a major doubt with a hip problem.

Both Luke Shaw (hamstring) and Nemanja Matic (knock) are undergoing warm-weather training in Dubai to aid their recovery and are unlikely to play on Sunday. Diogo Dalot (groin) and Eric Bailly (knee) are both out of contention.

David De Gea is available, though, despite missing the 1-0 win against Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League last night.


While United’s injury situation is beginning to ease, Norwich manager Daniel Farke has been dealing with a crisis at centre-half. All four of their centre-backs have been sidelined with issues, but one should be back this weekend

Ben Godfrey had been suffering with complications from hernia surgery but has declared himself fit to face United. However, Timm Klose (knee), Christoph Zimmermann (ankle) and Grant Hanley (groin) are all unavailable.

Mario Vrancic (calf) is a doubt, but Ralf Fahrmann (groin) could return to the bench on Sunday.

The bookmakers have United as favourites. They are 17/20 at Unibet to get the three points, with a draw currently 3/1 with Bet365. A win for Norwich is 10/3 at Betfair.

Predicted Score – 2-1 to United
