MANCHESTER UNITED’S players have had to cope with poor form and plenty of criticism this season.
But this morning they faced a different challenge as they headed into training: the Manchester rain.
The likes of Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata were spotted driving through the pouring rain and huge puddles on their way into Carrington.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be desperate the horrendous conditions fail to rain on their parade as they look to finish off a fine week.
United played well and earned a 1-1 draw against league-leaders Liverpool last Sunday then scraped past Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League.
Anthony Martial’s converted penalty was their only shot on target in the entire game.
But supporters making the trip to Norwich for tomorrow afternoon’s clash will be hoping to see floods of chances from their strikers.
And there is some extra reason for optimism with Solskjaer expected to stick with a front two against the Canaries.
It could see Rashford and Anthony Martial through the middle, supported by Daniel James with Fred and Scott McTominay in midfield.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brandon Williams were the wing-backs on Thursday evening and could retain their places, especially with Luke Shaw missing the win in Serbia through injury.
Harry Maguire is expected to be joined by Victor Lindelof and Marcos Rojo in a back three with David De Gea fit to return to the starting XI.
However, once again there will be no Paul Pogba for the Red Devils as he continues to struggle with an ankle problem.
