This season’s Premier League Boxing Day will mark the reunion of Manchester United’s interim coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the public at Old Trafford Stadium. The reunion will be presented when Red devils face Huddersfield Town on Week 19 of the Premier League on Wednesday (12/26/2018).
The successor of Jose Mourinho underwent his debut match as his former club coach with a 5-1 win over Cardiff City in the Premier League. His performance as interim coach Manchester United deserves to be the reason for the management of the team to make Solskjaer a permanent coach as told by Wes Brown, MU ex-player. “It’s nice to imagine Pochettino or Zidane to train the club, but it’s not easy. As long as Ole gives good results, nothing is impossible and he deserves to survive, “he continued.
In term of squad, it is seen that on Christmas Day academy star Gomes arrived at the team hotel as part of a 19 man squad spotted by MEN photographers. Anthony Martial and James Garner both travelled down to the match against Cardiff last week, but were not seen with the rest of the squad as they arrived on Tuesday night. Moreover, Marcus Rashford was the only natural forward picture arriving at the hotel, with Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez not pictured arriving along with the rest of their teammates. Meanwhile, Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard are believe to continue with their fine runs of form when they line up against the Terriers.
At Boxing Day this year, the top position of the table will be certainly not change. Liverpool, who are now collecting 48 points, will remain in first place even though they failed to win points in the 19th week later. The Reds’ unbeaten record might also be continued although they face the 15th-ranked team, Newcastle United. Besides being stable in performance, Liverpool will play at home, Anfield Stadium.
Pressure is now on the defending champions, Manchester City, which at the end of last week claimed their second defeat of the season. The negative results made Man City now four points behind Liverpool. Man City will certainly try hard to get back on track and shorten the distance with Liverpool. That can only be achieved by beating hosts Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
