Man United picked up a smooth win in the Premier League this weekend beating Watford 3-0 at home and next up they take on Club Brugge in the Europa League.
The first leg of this tie was a 1-1 draw after which the manager received a lot of slack for resting some of his key players but surely Solskjaer will not make such a mistake for a second time around.
The Man United manager also has most of his players back to full fitness so he is expected to not only name a solid starting XI but will also have increased bench strength on Thursday night.
The OT outfit had managed to pick up that crucial away goal in the first leg which has surely titled the tie in favour of Ole’s men.
Man United team news vs Club Brugge:
Sergio Romero started in goal in the first leg and the Argentine should once again be the No 1 for the Red Devils as David De Gea starts on the bench.
Last week, the manager opted to use a three-man defensive line-up against Brugge but this time around he is expected to return back to his favoured 4-2-3-1 formation with Harry Maguire and possibly Eric Bailly playing in central defence.
Luke Shaw put in a fine shift against Watford on Sunday but Brandon Williams is expected to replace him at left-back while Diogo Dalot should play as the other full-back.
Fred and Nemanja Matic had been a solid midfield partnership for Man United in the absence of Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay but the latter is now fully fit and in line to start against Brugge.
We feel Matic could make way for McTominay on Thursday while Fred keeps his place in the starting line-up.
Fernandes was on song against the Hornets this past weekend and the player will most certainly start in Europe in midweek.
Daniel James after a fair bit of time had a fine display in a red shirt vs Watford and the winger is expected to keep his place while Mason Greenwood to will start after having found the net once again for Man United on Sunday.
Anthony Martial scored with a piece of magic against the Hornets and the Frenchman will once again get the nod ahead of Odion Ighalo upfront.
Man United’s predicted line-up vs Brugge:
Starting line-up: Romero; Dalot, Brandon Williams, Maguire, Eric Bailly; Fred, McTominay, Bruno Fernandes; Daniel James, Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial.
