Early team news as Manchester United prepare to take on Norwich City
According to the club’s official site, Manchester United have provided an early peek at the team news ahead of their clash against Norwich City on Saturday.
The Red Devils are currently unbeaten under Ralf Rangnick and will aim to keep their good run going against the Canaries. Norwich have picked up their form in the last few weeks but nothing less than a win is expected from the red Devils.
The German manager rang in the changes for Man United’s midweek clash against Young Boys. With his major players being allowed a breather, the Red Devils can call upon their best players to be in top form at the weekend.
One star who looks set to sit out of the game is Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The full-back was stretched off at full time against Young Boys after colliding with a hoarding. Rangnick has since revealed that the player sustained injuries to his knee and wrist. It makes little sense for Man United to risk him at Carrow Road.
This could very well see Diogo Dalot start the game at right-back. The Portuguese star impressed against Crystal Palace and looks to be a player reborn under the new manager.
Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani are back in training but the game has come too early for them to feature. The duo will be joined on the sidelines by French stars Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial.
Luke Shaw returned to action against Young Boys. Whether Rangnick will incorporate him into the starting XI to persist with Alex Trelles remains to be seen. Slowly yet steadily, we could see who the German’s preferred first XI is.
