Man United beat Derby County in the 5th Round of the FA Cup and now they will take on Norwich City in the next round.

But before that game at Carrow Road, Man United have a number of other games to tackle, one of them being the Manchester Derby this weekend in the Premier League.

The Red Devils picked up a relatively easy 3-0 win against Wayne Rooney’s side on Thursday but despite this, the manager was not too happy with the overall performance of the side.

Solskjaer told BT Sport, as quoted: “When you win 3-0 you should think so, but there were some scary moments in there.

“Early on I didn’t think we played particularly well but when you get two goals in the way we did, that is pleasing.

“At the beginning of the second half, they put some pressure on us.

“But a nice goal from Odion and a fantastic save from Sergio for Wayne’s free-kick as well.”

Man United might be in for a tough time:

During various times in the Derby County game, Manchester United looked vulnerable in defence and if the Rams had taken their chances in front of goal then Solskjaer’s men could have been in for a really tough time.

And this defensive lapse might very well be a cause of concern as Man United get ready to host their local rivals on Sunday.

Harry Maguire will obviously return back to the starting XI while Aaron Bissaka should also be fit in time. But we feel, the manager will not be looking to take any chances with is why Ole should be looking to start with a three-man defensive line wherein Luke Shaw is tucked in alongside Maguire and Lindelof.

But apart from the defenders, the likes of McTominay and Fred will play a key role in helping a clean sheet more so since Bruno Fernandes should be given the license to move further forward in attack.
