Manchester United expected to start Memphis against Watford

Manchester United’s Memphis Depay celebrates scoring his side’s first goal of the game, during the English Premier League soccer match between Watford and Manchester United, at Vicarage Road, Watford, England, Saturday, November 21, 2015.

Deeney had invited six former inmates from his three-month spell in prison in 2012 to watch the contest but despite his third goal in four matches, he failed to get Watford out of jail as they sank to their fifth defeat of the season.

Louis van Gaal is being forced to answer hard questions even when his side are winning games.

United moved onto 27 points from 13 games, a point ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal and two clear of Leicester City, who are all in action later.

Yet United continued to explore down that flank and their counterintuitive approach brought them the opening goal in the 11th minute.

Young has been roundly jeered on the majority of his trips back to Villa Park, but he is hopeful that the Vicarage Road faithful will be more welcoming.

He followed that up by taking the Citizens to their first league title in the Premier League era, next season, which firmly established Manchester City as one of the heavyweights of English football.

“So when you see people saying every week that Watford are going to lose you just have to say ‘all right, we’ll see'”.

United continued to attack at the start of the second half with Gomes saving to foil Jesse Lingard, while Schweinsteiger headed over from Juan Mata’s corner.

Depay started as a central striker in the absence of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial, but both could be back against PSV as United chase the win which would secure qualification for the knockout stages. We didn’t give more than three chances away.

“But nevertheless we have created a lot of chances”.

– Watford’s previous win against Manchester United came in September 1986, with their opponents winning each of the last nine in all competitions.

United were on the attack again shortly thereafter.

“What I would say is the more successful you become the more isolated you make yourself”, Deeney told the Watford Observer.
