Manchester United have struggled for both form and results in recent times. That is no secret. And for many reasons, the international break might have come at a great time for them. It gave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side an opportunity to step back, refresh themselves and hopefully come back stronger. Will that turn out to be the case? We will find out when the Red Devils face Watford in the Premier League this weekend.
It is going to be a very important match for Manchester United. This is a rare game where they would be expected to get all three points amid a difficult run of fixtures.
They faced the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Leicester City, Atalanta and a few others before the international break. And after Watford, they have some very tough games coming up as well.
Thus, it could also be a solid opportunity for the manager to give a few first-team minutes to players who have not played a lot this season and see how they do.
Manchester United: 3 players who should start vs Watford
Here are three Manchester United players who Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should start in the upcoming game against Watford in the Premier League:
Diogo Dalot
Dalot had put in some very impressive performances in pre-season and was expected to play much more football than he has till now, this season.
There is no question about his potential though and with Aaron Wan-Bissaka not in the middle of a great run of form, it might be the right time to give Dalot a start against Watford and see how he performs.
His combination with Portuguese teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo, is also something that could be a positive for Manchester United if it flourishes. For that to happen though, they will have to play together, which has not happened very often at Old Trafford till now.
