Ronaldo, Pogba And Dalot To Start, Fred And Wan Bissaka Out: United’s Predicted XI To Face Norwich

Manchester United were awful against Everton last weekend and interim boss Ralf Rangnick has admitted that it will be “difficult” for his team to finish in the top four now.

They do have the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways tomorrow, though, as they go up against bottom of the table Norwich. Dean Smith’s side did win versus Burnley last time out but their away record is the second-worst in the division, with just two wins in 15 matches.

In terms of the starting lineup, David De Gea will start in goal, but there could be a change at right-back, with the more attack-minded Diogo Dalot coming in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Alex Telles will start on the opposite flank with Luke Shaw still sidelined.


Victor Lindelof is expected to continue in the centre of defence, deputising in the absence of the injured Raphael Varane. Captain Harry Maguire will keep his place.

With Fred and Scott McTominay both ruled out of contention, we could see a midfield three of Nemanja Matic, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba.

Marcus Rashford performed well at Goodison Park despite being on the losing side, so he is likely to stay in the starting eleven along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Play Norwich City:

De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, Matic, Fernandes, Pogba, Sancho, Ronaldo, Rashford
