Norwich
Man Utd
- Jonny Howson could be back for Norwich after missing the last two games with a back injury.
- Russell Martin returned to the bench for the Fulham game and could be in contention for a start.
- Bennett, Tettey and Pilkington remain absent, and Norwich could remain unchanged, although the packed schedule could enforce changes.
- David Moyes will have to change his whole right flank for this match, with Valencia suspended and Rafael injured.
- Valencia was sent off against Hull and Rafael was withdrawn early on with a groin injury, so Vidic could return to the starting lineup.
- A second game in 3 days could be too much for recently returned Darren Fletcher.
Johnny Evans had a fantastic game, made a number of crucial blocks to stop goal scoring opportunities. Can't see why he did get MoTM
Very important win for United. There is a whole half of a season to be played and to count out United for a potential top four finish now would be a mistake. If Moyes can manage to shore up the midfield with a decent buy or two in January they just might pull something off. Though at whose expense I do not know.
Man utd played poorly, but a win is a win!
"Why is the evra" WHAT? Picked as MotM? Bloody good question, since Evra -- of whom I've long been a fan -- was dead horrible in this match, clearly the worst for Man Utd, with not even the useless Hernandez threatening him for lowgemony. Other than his off-pitch tirades, Evra's currently having certainly the worst season of his time with Man Utd, except possibly his first season with them. I'm growing suspicious that WhoScored.com may be run by his agent or mum.
why is the evra?
Norwich 11 shots 4 on target MUFC 3 shots! 1 on target Not a good first half performance by the Red Devils.
hehe. poor United... lucky to end first half with 0-0
2-1 united
Manchester United 3 Norwich City 1
2-2. Hughton has the Canaries playing well.
still united win 0-2
hmmm..over 2.5 or united win...nani and valencia out the width is going to suffer im afraid..
Norwich 1-1 Everton II
My prediction summary-Suarez and Manchester City destroyed...Norwich in turns because...Norwich did not defend well.Against a rejuvenated United side,they would have to find some magic potion...that,would allow them to do it.Norwich 1 Manchester United 4.I am being generous...here,to .........Norwich.says+austin4sports.com
Hobgoblin Norwich. I think Norwich win out of the blue.
Nope not really erastus! Norwich needs the points as well so it's going to be interesting if United sleeps in again at the start ,could be a different story! But Carrick , Vidic and RvP probably one or two of them are going to recover from injury to help David Moyes to deliver some vital point in the boxing days!
this is surely going to be an easy win for man utd
