da betobet： After squeezing past Partizan Belgrade on Thursday night in the Europa League, Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday when they take on newly-promoted Norwich.
The Canaries find themselves in the relegation zone after picking up just seven points from their opening nine games, and have conceded a joint division high of 21 goals. On paper at least, it looks like a comfortable afternoon for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

But the Red Devils’ biggest struggles have come against the teams that they have been expected to beat, losing to the likes of Crystal Palace and Newcastle already. If they are to avoid a similar upset at the weekend, then it will be imperative they stop Norwich’s danger man Emiliano Buendia, and Scott McTominay could be the man tasked with the job of doing so.
Particularly earlier on in the season, including that seismic victory over champions Manchester City, Buendia and teammate Teemu Pukki were at the heart of everything good about Daniel Farke’s side. The former is a creative force to be reckoned with, and against sides that like to play a high-line, his ability to pick out runners in behind the defence is impressive.

The Argentine has averaged 2.7 key passes per game this season in the Premier League, and Pukki has been the main beneficiary of his creativity. The Canaries forward has six goals already, and so cutting off the supply line from Buendia will be United’s biggest defensive task on Sunday.
McTominay has been the main cog in the Red Devils’ midfield, featuring in every Premier League game. Against Liverpool last time out in the top-flight, he was a key factor in Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness remarking that the United midfielders “bossed” their counterparts. If the Scotland international can show that same combative spirit against the Canaries, Solskjaer’s men stand a great chance of picking up a vital three points.
His defensive side of the game is ever-improving, as evidenced by 1.9 tackles and 1.6 interceptions per game respectively. So whilst the Manchester side will be keen to play on the front foot, they will have to be very wary of the problems Norwich could cause going the other way.
