Can Manchester United Redeem Itself in Old Trafford Match with West Brom

As Van Gaal battles his loss to Everton last week, the club side will this evening face West Brom in another Premiership bout in its bid to cement its fourth position in the league table as well  as book its place in the Champions League but as he said last week his team needs motivation and aggression. The Red Devils’ Manager was quoted last after a disappointing defeat by the 10^th position and 44 points Everton with that his team lacks aggression and motivation that would have made them win the match. By now all Man U fans are looking forwards to a formidable team that is well motivated and aggressive to enough for a decisive win against the visiting Baggies. The red Devils cannot afford another lose at this crucial time in the league season.

Hope of a better home game rose for Man U as its captain, Wayne Rooney rumoured to have sustained another knee injury has been declared fit for the match. Rooney’s fitness is a plus for the Red Devils but the likes of Michael Carrick, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw were ruled out of today’s match due calf injury, groin injury and sciatic nerve problem. In recent matches, the team has missed the protection Michael Carrick provided and until his calf injury heals United will have to look for alternative way of defending its goalpost. 

Until Carrick was injured United lost one match out of the 17 matches he played this season. Wayne Rooney’s fitness is cheering news for United as this will boost the morale of the team. Man U’s match has improved since team captain Rooney moved from being a midfielder to centre-forward in February. 

On the visit side, West Brom is encouraged by the spectacular performances its underdog peers such as Leicester City, Aston Villa and QPR among others lately and the visiting team will want to do it best in Old Trafford but beating Man U will be herculean but not impossible. West Brom boss, Tony Pulis however has several injury concerns for today’s match but the return of his midfielder, Youssouf Mulumbu from a ban will help the team’s campaign in Old Trafford.  Andre Wisdom on loan from Liverpool will also play against Man U in today’s match.

Pulis decision to sign Darren Fletcher and made him the captain of the team when he became the club’s manager was hailed by sport commentators. Fletcher will be returning to Old Trafford, the club he won four league titles with and a Champions League as a foe the is afternoon.
