Manchester United will host Sunderland at Old Trafford this Saturday for the 37th day of the Premier League. It promises to be an intriguing encounter between two teams that have found form and motivation in recent matches.
Sunderland, after a remarkable escape from the relegation zone, will be wary of slipping back into danger as they face a resurgent United side. United, under the interim management of Ryan Giggs following the departure of David Moyes, bounced back from two consecutive defeats by securing a convincing 4-0 victory over Norwich City. With a chance to secure a spot in the Europa League if Tottenham fails to claim it, United will be eager to continue their positive momentum.
Giggs is expected to maintain faith in the midfield partnership of Cleverley and Carrick, while Adnan Januzaj is likely to start on the bench alongside Fellaini and van Persie. Mata and Nani are expected to feature in the starting lineup, providing support to Chicharito Hernandez in the absence of the injured Wayne Rooney.
Here is the expected starting lineup for Manchester United: Goalkeeper: De Gea Defenders: Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra Midfielders: Nani, Carrick, Fletcher, Young, Mata Forward: Hernandez
With both teams eager to secure positive results, fans can anticipate an exciting clash at Old Trafford as the season draws to a close.
