The Manchester United Channel covered a lot of interesting topics through various articles published on the website in the past one month or two months and while the website still plans to publish more articles tackling the issues of some decisions made by Manchester United board of directors.
The Manchester United Channel also addressed some decisions made by club manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer in the future and with plans made by this website to deliver more articles centered on what transpires inside Manchester United and what transpires around Manchester United, there is a lot of interesting articles scheduled to be published on this website in the future. Today's article however will take a different approach as the website turns to discussions and analyses of how Manchester United will tackle the upcoming match against Leicester City.
Looking at this weekends’ match against Leicester City from an analytical standpoint, Manchester United currently hold a surprising disadvantage of relinquishing all three points from tonight's match to Leicester. To be more specific, the odds place Leicester City holding a slight 53% - 47% advantage over Manchester United which placed the foxes with high expectations of emerging out of the King Power Stadium with all 3 points in the bag with the majority of the vote suggesting this weekends’ match will end in a draw.
Looking at the statistics from a partisan perspective the statistics will appear to have produced a realistic statistic in regards to the expectation of the final results to this weekends’ match especially considering that history has proven that teams playing at home appear to have a higher level of self-confidence on their home-grown ground.
In addition to the stance of placing Manchester United as the slight underdogs heading into this weekend's game, looking at the current stance of both teams in the 2020/21 Premier League table, the rationale behind awarding Manchester United such a high margin of benefit to come out of tonight's match victorious without counting Leicester as a difficult adversary will make no sense statistically and realistically. However, statistics and style of play will be of little or no importance to Manchester United if the Red Devils fail to secure all 3 points in this weekend's match especially considering the idea that some teams currently sitting in and around the top 4 spots in the premier league table might be scheduled to drop points this weekend.
While Manchester United Channel is a website that prioritizes article that focuses solely on activities that involve Manchester United football club directly, this part of today's article will try to focus a little bit on teams around Manchester United competing for a place in one of the top four spots on the Premier League table. English sides Chelsea and Everton currently holding the fourth and fifth positions in the Premier League table will be two opponent whom Manchester United will have a good chance of distancing themselves from should the red Devils secure victory this weekend with both Chelsea and Everton scheduled to face off against tough sides Aston Villa and Manchester City respectively in their next matches as the race for the Premier League trophy intensifies as the season progresses.
As we head into the second part of the Premier League season, Manchester United currently stands five points in 3rd place behind first place holders Liverpool in the Premier League table as we head into the game against Leicester City. With Everton and Chelsea both poised to face off against strong opponents who have a history of making life difficult for teams each, Manchester United stand a chance of tightening their grip in 3rd spot in the Premier League table and subsequently covering more grounds early in the season in the battle for the 2020/21 Premier League trophy.
In recent meetings between Manchester United and Leicester City, the Red Devils have held the advantage with the margin of results over the last five meetings between both sides favoring Manchester United with four victories and one draw overall all meeting came in the form of the Premier League competition. Fair to say that Everton is in no way assured of securing all three points against their next two opponents Sheffield United and Manchester City during the next few days which makes Manchester United's scheduled match against Leicester City an important match for Manchester United if the Red Devils intend on making themselves a serious contender for the Premier League trophy come to the end of the 2020/21 season.
On much more encouraging news for Manchester United, the information gathered by the Manchester United Channel pictures Manchester United injury list decrease in number with Scott McTominay, who has become an important midfield piece in Manchester United’s set up this season is set to be missing in action for a couple of weeks for Manchester United as the Scottish midfielder joins fellow Manchester United teammate Marcus Rojo and Luke Shaw in the recovery room at Old Trafford.
Luke Shaw who had made his return to Manchester United starting line up in the middle of last season after missing action for the majority of last season has been confirmed as currently nursing a new illness, not Covid 19 related, and the English Left-back is expected to left out of action at least for the next two weeks.
Even with the injured players Marcus Rojo, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay expected to miss tonight's match, Manchester United was expected to have enough firepower on the field to deliver a victory against Leicester City this weekend which would have possibly solidify their hold in 3rd place spot in the Premier League table as we approach the midway point of the season. With Donny Van der Beak still yet to make his full debut in the starting lineup for Manchester United this seasons Premier League competition, December and January are great opportunities for manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer to insert the Dutch midfielder in the starting XI and this weekend's match against Leicester City provided a great opportunity for manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer to finally erase the massive question mark hanging over Donny Van de Beak’s future at Manchester United.
But yet again Donny van de Beak was nowhere to be found in the starting XI against Leicester City which retained the question of what does Solskjaer have planned for Donny van de Beak and from what Manchester United Channel has been able to gather, Donny van de Beak's future at Manchester United appears to be one of an impact substitute for the Red Devils.
Avoiding defeat against Leicester City which was accomplished tonight by Manchester United also played a massive part towards retaining the level of criticism thrown in the direction of manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer over the lack of involvement for midfielder Donny van de Beak as the Dutch midfielder was left out of the starting XI. Manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer continues to insist that Donny van de Beak has a place in the Manchester United starting lineup but as we enter the midway point of the season, the manager is yet to create any type of place for the Dutch midfielder except for a role as a substitute.
