Manchester United will visit Elan Road stadium this Sunday for a "Rose Derby" with Leeds United, Bilza's team style of play has always been the Red Devils' favorite, and before this match, the club officially announced that the centre-back Varane has returned from illness, and Ivorian iron guard Eric Bai and Serbian defender Nemanja Matic will also return. Unfortunately, center Cavani, although he resumed training, will still hang the exemption card.
Varane was originally the starting player for Manchester United and Brighton in the last round, but withdrew from the game with a stomach upset before the game, but he has resumed normal training this week and can play. Bai injured his ankle when he returned from the Africa Cup of Nations and has now made a full recovery, and the iron-waisted Nemanja Matic has also healed his tibia injury and returned to the tournament roster.
This is good news for Lonnick, who will play three games in a row in the next 7 days, in addition to Sunday's visit to Leeds United, next Wednesday's Champions League expedition to Atletico Madrid, and next Saturday's home game against Watford.
Compared with the three, 35-year-old Cavani also participated in training on Thursday, but Lonnick did not think he was enough to compete. Data show that Edinson Cavani has become United's number one injury king this season, playing the full game only three times. Speaking at United's pre-match press conference, Longnick confirmed: "It looks like Edinson Cavani will continue to be absent, and after training he found that he still has problems in his groin and has symptoms of stomach discomfort, and goalkeeper Tom Heaton also has some injuries. But apart from that, the rest of United's players can play."
Commenting on United's objectives, Lonnick said: "We have to play well one game at a time, and everyone knows that being at Leeds United is very important for us to stay in fourth place in the Premier League table and we have to win. Then, 3 days later, we also had another tough fight in the Champions League against Atletico and we wanted to get into the next round of this event. Then three days later, it was a home game against Watford. These games have to be played one by one, so there are more players to play in and we want to thank God for your blessings. Nemanja Matic resumed training for the first time today and is in pretty good shape, and he may be involved in Sunday against Leeds United, even if not, in the next two games."
The British "Sun" predicted that due to Leeds United's open and closed style of play, Lonnick may arrange a more aggressive Manchester United starting lineup, and Pogba, Rashford and others are expected to return to the starting 11. Its predicted lineup is 433: De Gea/Diogu Dalo, Varane, Maguire, Luke Shaw/Bruno Fernandez, McTomine, Pogba/Rashford, Ronaldo, Sancho.
In addition to the "people" factor that helps Manchester United, Tianshi is also biased towards the United side. Storm "Eunice" is currently harassing Leeds, interfering with Bielsa's preparations, and by the time the match against Manchester United starts, the storm has passed. Not only that, but Leeds United also had many injuries, including Calvin Phillips, Patrick Banford, Liam Cooper, Leo Yelle and others were on the injury list, and Bielsa had to call on youth players to fill the vacancies.
Coupled with the weather, Leeds United's under-23 youth team's friday match has been temporarily cancelled and the first-team training cannot be carried out normally, so Manchester United have a good chance of completing two consecutive wins on Sunday to retain the fourth place in the table.
