Team News
AZ Alkmaar
Man Utd
- Albert Gudmundsson will miss out for AZ Alkmaar after lasting just 28 minutes of their 2-0 win over Heracles at the weekend.
- Jonas Svensson is suspended for the home side after he was sent off in their Europa League opener. He will likely be replaced at right-back by Yukinari Sugawara.
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will ring the changes from Monday's 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal, with the likes of Mason Greenwood, Juan Mata, Fred, Sergio Romero and Nemanja Matic expected in the starting XI.
- Manchester United have confirmed Diogo Dalot and Angel Gomes are both back in the squad following a stint out injured and both have a chance of starting against AZ Alkmaar.
- Luke Shaw returned to training last week but hasn't travelled with the United squad, while Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are still sidelined.
- Phil Jones has also been ruled out by Solskjaer, which could see Marcos Rojo start at centre-back and 19-year-old Brandon Williams make his full United debut at left-back after a cameo off the bench against Rochdale in the Carabao Cup.
- Paul Pogba has been ruled out until after the international break after failing to shake off a persistent ankle injury.
ManU without a SINGLE shot on goal ! :-0
The AZ plastic pitch may be trouble for Man Utd.
go AZ! punish man dog tonight!
@ambrose What?
@manu19 lol yeah that IS funny
2-0 home win, United without Pogboom is awful
3-1
Man United at home were lucky to score against Arsenal, which is saying a lot. Alkmaar to win with a clean sheet. 1-0 seems wright.
Dearie me, Yawnited are not happy with the quality of grass the Dutch have served up here. Getting their excuses in early.
Marcus Rashford has scored just ONE GOAL from open play in his last 16 Man United matches.
2-1
worst man utd team
Ole has just said it is the worst plastic pitch he has ever seen.
@nexus747 Whine
@Fromhell that will be Oles excuse if they do not win :)
@nexus747 Maybe Ole should focus on getting his team a decent result for once instead of picking a fight with the pitch.
@nexus747 keep whining, couldn't even get a shot on target against a wifi password team
@nexus747 We live in 2019, we have robots on Mars, took pictures of a black hole but somehow still can't make good artificial turf.
1-0 LoL i know United is trash but they are winning this one......
@SirCharlesRichfield No, not even this one
