Biggest name in the game against mighty Bluebirds, what could go wrong, if Renaldo plays we’re fugging doomed....doomed I tell thee! Cardiff left-back Joe Bennett has not trained this week because of a hip problem and is doubtful for this game. A couple of unnamed players are also nursing "little niggles", according to manager Neil Warnock. Manchester United are set to be without Romelu Lukaku, who has reportedly been given compassionate leave. Bobby Charlton expected to start, after a lengthy layoff. Alexis Sanchez remains absent with a hamstring problem, while Chris Smalling, who was injured in the warm-up at Liverpool, is a doubt. New caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must decide whether to recall midfielder Paul Pogba and forward Anthony Martial, both of whom were substitutes in the defeat at Anfield. Warnock calls referee "a trainee" after defeat at Watford Five reasons Solskjaer is a United legend Solskjaer would "love" job permanently Martin Fisher: Poor results, limp performances, unhappy players, frustrated fans... the charge sheet against Jose Mourinho is a long one. If news of his dismissal came as little surprise, the identity of his successor did raise a few eyebrows. As a player, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a United legend but his pedigree as a Premier League manager is questionable - just half a season, coincidentally at Cardiff, which saw the Bluebirds relegated. Prior to that he coached a certain Paul Pogba in United's reserves. A revival in the club's fortunes, at least in the short-term, might be as simple as getting the best out of him. Meanwhile, as Cardiff aim for their fourth home win on the spin, Neil Warnock will be pondering whether or not this is a good or a bad time to welcome the Manchester United juggernaut into town. Cardiff manager Neil Warnock on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's appointment: "I think it's the best job he will have in his life, Ole, because he can't lose! "He'll hold the fort until the end of the season and if he does well, he'll get a couple of years. "It's a great club and we're all expecting [Paul] Pogba, [Anthony] Martial or [Jesse] Lingard to be man of the match. Ole is a nice lad from what I've heard." Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "My job is to help the players, make them grasp the opportunity now. "I had the best manager [Sir Alex Ferguson] as a player and coach to learn how to deal with people and how he dealt with people. "It's about communication... when you're at Man United, there are a set of demands and one of them is to be a team player and I don't think anyone has been on the bench more than me! "So that's always my comeback to players: 'You never know, you might come on and make an impact - that's your chance, grab your opportunity when you get it." I can guarantee you that in United's training sessions this week, everything will have been really sharp and I would expect them to translate that into a convincing performance. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was not a success when he was Cardiff manager in 2014 but this is a completely different situation for him. I think he will get results, but what happens next at United is going to be very interesting. Prediction: 0-2 Lawro's full predictions v British heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte Head-to-head It is 58 years since Cardiff beat Manchester United, a 3-0 win in the top flight in November 1960. The Red Devils have won five of the subsequent seven meetings. The only previous encounter at the Cardiff City Stadium was a 2-2 draw in November 2013. Cardiff City Cardiff have won four of their past five Premier League home games, as many as they had in their previous 22 in the competition. They could win four consecutive top-flight home matches for the first time since a five-game streak from November 1960 to January 1961. That sequence began with a 3-0 win against Manchester United. The Bluebirds could also keep back-to-back clean sheets in top-flight home games for the first time since April 1957. Cardiff and Manchester United have both won nine points from losing positions this season, a tally exceeded only by Arsenal's 12. Manager Neil Warnock has failed to win any of his seven previous encounters with Manchester United in all competitions, losing six of those matches. Manchester United United have been defeated in their last three Premier League away games against promoted sides, as many losses as in their previous 36 matches against top-flight newcomers (W27, D6). The last time they lost four consecutive top-flight games versus newly-promoted sides was from March 1960 to November 1961, a run which included a 3-0 defeat at Cardiff. United's tally of 26 points is their worst at this stage of a season since 1990, when they had an identical record (W7, D5, L5) but one point fewer as a punishment for a brawl against Arsenal. The Reds have conceded 29 league goals this season - the last time they let in more in their opening 18 top-flight matches was in 1962-63. They have won just once in their last six top-flight matches (D3, L2). Anthony Martial may make his 100th Premier League appearance, while Romelu Lukaku's next start will be his 200th in the competition I laid across a Manchester lass she had a great big hass titties blowing in the breeze all went wrong, when I had to sneeze beauties fell, unto her knees!
