If ever there was a need for Paul Pogba and his boys to wrap up a game as fast as they could – it is this Saturday. They just cannot exert themselves too much into this game and risk their showdown against the Spanish Champions. The pressure is on.But, no one needs to teach the devils how to deal with pressure, just like you wouldn’t teach a fish to swim. They live for these moments.Moreover, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the spirited treble winner has injected the famed Manchester blood into the veins of the youngsters.
They will draw inspiration from the fact that they have recorded 16 of the last 19 h2h wins, and the last ten at this venue. Also, take into account that West Ham last won at Old Trafford back in 2007, and before that back in 2001.
Importantly, West Ham lost seven of their last eight away ties, and since they are almost safe from relegation, possesses no overwhelming will to fight for the three points. Expect the Devils to get going from the first minute.Two defeats in three Premier League games is as many as United had suffered in their previous 22 in the competition. Worryingly for the Red Devils, they are winless in their last four Premier League games immediately following a European fixture, losing at Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal and drawing at Southampton.With Man City and Chelsea the next two visitors to Old Trafford, this is close to being a must-win game for United. If the feel-good factor brought to the club by Solskjaer is to return, they need to put on a show for their supporters this Saturday.
