The dawn of Ole
The international break is finally over and everything has returned to the status quo. The Red Devils are looking to shape up after a rough couple of weeks whilst The Hornets are hoping to further secure a top 7 finish in their bid towards playing European football next season but who will emerge victorious?
Manchester united
The red side of Manchester rejoiced after the news of Solskjaer taking over as head coach broke a few days ago and i can't do anything but applaud that decision. The Norwegian baby faced assassin may have turned United into a winning team again but they have, as of late, hit their first snag under their new manager. They were leapfrogged by Arsenal a fortnight ago which was followed by an early exit out of the FA cup by the hands of a Resilient Wolverhampton which leaves me thinking that the most interesting part of Saturdays game will be whether or not United can regroup and get back to winning ways. A couple of aspects that United fans can feel happy about include Pogba's outstanding performances during the break as well as the fact that Ole has had more time to work with the parts of the squad that were not selected for international duty. With only eight games left of this season United will be desperate to land all 3 points allowing their dream of playing in next years CL to stay alive (because lets be honest here, the light blues might have a chance at CL glory but the reds luck will not carry them all the way, this year at least).
Notable absentees
Sanchez
Watford
The Hornets find themselves in a very respectable eighth place and are currently fighting for a Europa League spot which they should feel very proud about. With the likes of Deulofeu, Doucoure and brawler Troy Deeney it actually really is no surprise that the golden boys are as high up in the table as they currently find themselves and are in good form coming into this clash having only lost their last 3 of their last 11 games. With the aforementioned players Watford are lethal on the counter and i fully expect them to give United a run for their money. However, a word of warning is that Watford have currently lost their last 13 games in a row against top 6 opposition which means that they could be in for a rough time on Saturday..

Betting tip
I honestly feel that the "Ole effect" is in for a resurrection and that United will get back to their winning ways which is why i will be backing a Manchester United win at 11/25 with Bethard.
