DBasia.news – Watford’s duel against Manchester United will take place at Vicarage Road, Saturday (20/11) at 22.00 WIB. The result of this match could determine the fate of the Red Devils manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Solskjaer had no other choice but to bring his team to win in this match. Any other result could cost him his job.
Beating Watford should not be impossible for Manchester United. Moreover, the opponent candidate status promotion team.
But the porous Manchester United defense could present a nightmare for Solskjaer. De Gea this season has only kept two clean sheets and conceded 17 goals in the Premier League.
These statistics already illustrate how bad Manchester United’s defense is. Even though a solid back line is the first thing that must be met to win the title.
This was exacerbated by Manchester United’s bad record at home to Watford throughout the history of the Premier League. Of the seven visits, not once did the English giants keep a clean sheet.
Although from the number of matches, Manchester United only lost twice. While the rest ended in victory.
Solskjaer is aware of the weakness of his team’s defense. He also tried to fix it during the international break yesterday.
“We’ve improved a few things. I’m sure we’ll see a reaction and a good performance in the match,” said Solskjaer at a press conference ahead of the game.
“The players, the staff, myself and the club are working for one goal which is to improve performances and get better results.”
Manchester United will still be without Raphael Varane in this match. Solskjaer’s quality was also tested to solve problems in his defense.
