With the race for a Champions League ticket heating up, Red Devils will be welcoming side Watford at the Old Trafford. The match schedules for 23rd February with kickoff at 17:00 GMT. Will the Red Devils close the gap for the top four?
Coach Ole Gunnar had the controversial VAR decisions to thank as it secured the side three points in the table. The win at the Stamford Bridge saw the Red Devils climb to 7th on the table. However, the Red Devils face heated competition from other clubs.
Before the win, Coach Ole Gunnar was under heavy criticism, especially with the form of the club against the small clubs in the table. However, Red Devils have only conceded one loss from the top six clubs in the league.
Coach Quique Sanchez Flores is facing an uphill battle to ensure his side does not end in the relegation. However, all their efforts seem to be two steps ahead and two below. The spark that once removed the team from the relegation side seemed to have calmed down.
Will coach Ole Gunnar continue the winning form over the Hornets, or will the Hornets mark a return to the Premier League.
