Manchester United play Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon.
United have struggled for form this season despite enjoying an outstanding summer transfer window and lifeless performances against Liverpool and Manchester City have thrown Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future at the club into doubt.
There have been unprecedented calls for Solskjaer to be relieved of his duties in recent weeks and he needs a result versus Watford.
Watford sit just two points above the relegation zone in the Premier League table and should represent the ideal opportunity for United to regain the winning thread this weekend as the Reds return to the domestic schedule after the international break.
Regarding team news, Paul Pogba and Raphael Varane are both sidelined through injury and won't be available for the match.
David de Gea will be one of the first names on the team sheet and he's a certain starter in between the sticks for United.
Solskjaer had reverted to playing five at the back in a response to the Liverpool debacle at Old Trafford last month, however, that system seems an unjustifiable approach against the league's 'weaker' sides and so it seems a back four will be deployed instead.
The United boss considered switching to 4-3-3 across the summer and that formation would suit United's personnel at Watford.
Fred can anchor the three in midfield with Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek ahead of him. The latter's United career is yet to materialise, but Solskjaer has nothing to lose and the Dutchman's quality on the ball can be a useful asset in the centre of the pitch.
Mason Greenwood can be dropped to the bench to give Jadon Sancho an opportunity to play down the right channel.
Marcus Rashford has been in good form since his return from injury and he can start in his usual position on the left while it's inevitable that the talismanic Cristiano Ronaldo will spearhead United's attack - he should find plenty joy against Watford.
Predicted United XI vs Watford: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, Van de Beek, Fernandes, Sancho, Ronaldo, Rashford.
