Bettor.com analyzes the important players which could be influential in the end result when Carrow Road welcomes the Red Devils this weekend.
Norwich City:
Grant Holt:
The English striker has stuck with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723 through thick and thin, with the Premier League now being his well deserved reward.
Starting with non-League football, Holt has managed to move up divisions unlike any other player and his quality is still evident despite taking on Europe’s best every week.
With the captain’s armband to his name, he has the influence to ensure victory for his side and considering how he has performed in the last few weeks, he is bound to end up on the score sheet especially with United’s woeful defending at the moment.
Manchester United:
Javier Hernandez:
Down but not out was the motto when Chicharito managed to notch a match winning hat-trick against Aston Villa and now the mood at Old Trafford reflects the Mexican’s rise to prominent once more, as Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson promised to hand him a starting berth
for this one.
“Obviously, when you score a hat-trick you pick yourself, and I think he'll be playing next week. He's fresh this season, he's had a good summer break, it's made a difference to him," he said.
"When he came to us two years ago, that's what we were seeing more of today,” the long-serving manager was quoted as saying to the media.
With Wayne Rooney’s involvement potentially under threat, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380, who is also set to start.
Considering that Chicha can sniff out a goal on the minimal of chances, he is likely to deployed as a sole forward, with Van Persie playing slightly behind him in a more creative role that suits his talents
Having netted eight times during 13 outings, the Mexican International’s record speaks for itself and what’s more impressive is that most of his appearances have come from the bench, including last weekend’s crucial treble.
Comparisons with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are inevitable, but at this rate, Hernandez will be quick to overtake the Norwegian’s much talked about record as a substitute.
One of the world’s best players when you need to get a quick result, Chicharito will look to increase his goal tally in Norfolk and who’s to say he can’t replicate his earlier performance at the expense of Norwich.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394:
The veteran midfielder was pulling the strings from midfield at Villa Park and oozed quality throughout the time he was on the pitch.
While he only had Hernandez’s goal as his sole assist of the night, his all round performance was one to savour, as he dominated proceedings for the most part and managed to outwit opponents around him.
After being given a week’s rest, he will surely relish the chance to start alongside Carrick and should be allowed that opportunity especially considering the upcoming UEFA Champions League commitment, in which Fergie will play most of his youngsters.
Although at the very last stage of his career, Scholes can still ping 70-yard cross field balls with relative ease and manages to outsmart midfielders half his age.
That is something which cannot be learnt and comes naturally, hence Norwich should expect a master class if they allow the Ginger Haired magician time and space this weekend.
