Manchester United will be aiming to continue their good form in the second leg of European- League semi-final against Spanish side Celta de Vigo on this May 12 at Old Trafford. Indeed, the two teams will be keen to win this round to book their place in the final stage.
Jose Mourimho’s side are coming on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Arsenal in their last Premier League on Sunday. However, this Friday they prepared well for an elite match against Celta at their home ground.
The Red Devils played not very well in recent weeks, they have registered 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 defeat in their last five matches in all competitions. They have scored 4 goals and conceded 3 goals in all competitions and they are currently at 5th place in the Premier League table standings with 65 points from 35 matches played this season.
Manchester United enter the match with several players injuries, their key players Zlatan- Ibrhimovic, Luke Shaw, Eric Bailly are expected to miss this clash against the visitors. So, Mourinho has no reason not to rotate his formation this Friday. Meanwhile, Hrnrikh Mkhirtayan, Wayne Rooney, and Marcus Rashford are expected to start the line up to seek more goals for their team.
Celta on the other hand, they suffered another 3-0 defeat in Spanish La Liga when they visited Malaga on Monday. For the first time Celta reach the semi-final of a European League and measured to one of the greats of Europe like the home team. However, we would say it will be a tough match for the visitors after Manchester United beating a 1-0 over them on May 5 at their home ground.
The visitors have been in a poor form in recent weeks, they have failed to win any single match in all competitions in their last five matches. They have scored just once and conceded 10 goals in the last five matches in all competitions.
The attacking skills of Celyta are not good. So, Celta manager Eduardo Berrizo has no reason not to rotate his men if he wants to go next stage when they visit to Old Trafford.
Manchester United are huge favorites to win this one. (Source:www.manchestereveningnews.com)
