The search for Manchester United’s first home win continues this weekend after the international break. Manchester United play host to side West Brom at Old Trafford. The match schedules for Saturday with kickoff at 11 pm.
Ole Gunnar has only managed to secure one point at Old Trafford since the start of the 2020-21 season campaign. However, they come off a struggling West Brom side steeped in relegation battles without any away or home win.

The inconsistent form by United is a cause of concern for most fans from across the globe. The win against Everton came after a disappointing loss to Arsenal and Instanbul Basaksehir. It turned to wins over Paris Saint-Germaine and RB Leipzig with a draw against Chelsea.

Slaven Bilic is another manager under immense pressure while managing to score only once in their past five matches. It follows back to back defeats to Fulham and Tottenham.
