Manchester United lost their eighth Premier League game of the season on Wednesday when they were beaten by Burnley at home on Wednesday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has to motivate and cajole his side to put on a better performance this weekend when they face League One side Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on Sunday in the FA Cup.
A loss again this weekend would make it an even bigger crisis for the Red Devils, and could well cost the gaffer his job even though he has been publicly back by the Glazers.
The last time these two sides faced off was way back in 1976, and United won the game 5-0.
Manchester United Team News
United have not had any new injury worries since the last game, with the good news coming in the form of Victor Lindelof’s availability for the FA Cup game.
The likes of Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba, Marcos Rojo, and Axel Tuanzebe are still unavailable.
Let’s take a look at the possible Manchester United team for the game against Tranmere Rovers.
Predicted Manchester United Lineup vs Tranmere Rovers
Goalkeeper
Sergio Romero should start in goal and replace David de Gea between the sticks for the cup clash.
Defence
Victor Lindelof could return to the Manchester United lineup in place of Phil Jones, joining Harry Maguire at the back.
We could see Brandon Williams replaced at left-back as well, with Luke Shaw coming in for him. Aaron Wan-Bissaka should retain his place in the right-back position, while Diogo Dalot is an option for the Red Devils as well.
Midfield
Nemanja Matic and Fred could once again continue in the middle of the park for Manchester United. Solskjaer could maybe bring Pereira into the midfield in place of Matic or Fred, but his recent performances have been dreadful.
Juan Mata could be moved to the No. 10 role in place of Pereira, while Jesse Lingard is another option, while Angel Gomes could make the squad and be an option off the bench.
Attack
Anthony Martial will most likely continue in the No. 9 role as the main striker for United against Tranmere.
Mason Greenwood could come into the Manchester United lineup on the right flank, in place of Pereira. Daniel James should continue on the left.
