Darren Fletcher has also been included in the squad for the game v Wigan as he continues his road to recovery. United will be without Wayne Rooney, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones for the game, the latter who has been ruled out for 10 weeks. It remains to be seen if Ashley Young will be fit for the game on Saturday. Player to Watch Robin Van Persie The Dutchman has been is brilliant goalscoring form in his early United career and after his hattrick last time out vs. Southampton he will be hungry for more. ------------------------------ Wigan Athletic Wigan have fitness concerns over Jean Beausejour after he picked up hamstring injury last time out vs. Stoke City while Paraguay defender Antolin Alcaraz returns from International duty with an Abductor problem. On-loan striker Ryo Miyaichi of Arsenal has been working on his fitness and could be set for his first start while midfielder James McArthur is responding well to treatment for a back problem. Player to watch. Di Santo The once goal shy striker is finally finding his feet at Wigan.
Hopefully RVP can get a couple here, mainly because he is set as my captain for my dream team. I don;t think this game will be a pushover, but as always I will go with 8-1
I think we need to put in a convincing performance in this game, so far we have looked anything but. A good win against Wigan and i think we can go to Lfc and totally take advantage of their really shakey home form. Lfc last year managed to finish top half due to their good defence, this season they are leaking goals like a teabag.
Top match thread UIR Hopefully a convincing performance by the team tomorrow and a clean sheet for De Gea would be good as we have conceded quite a few goals at the start of this season. A relief that RVP is fit to play after concerns he was injured after being subbed in the Holland game during the week especially after Rooney is out injured. Also great that Fletcher is in the squad and is likely to be on the subs bench so we may see him make an appearance.
Congrats on a good match thread Which Wigan will turn up? They could give us a hard game like they did Chelsea OR collapse like at spurs. let's hope it s the latter...
We should have enough to beat Wigan today and beat them convincingly. I mean at one time we could play poor and still win 5-0 against this lot. Sure they are playing decent football and are on a high but its still Wigan Athletic. RVP to start, bag a brace and Nani to finish them off.
