Huddersfield vs Manchester United
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: John Smith's Stadium
Date: Saturday, May 4, 2019
Kick-off: 2pm BST
Manchester United’s hopes of a top four finish could be over if they fail to beat Huddersfield at the John Smith’s Stadium on Sunday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side currently sit sixth, and must rely on results from Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham - with the latter losing 1-0 at Bournemouth on Saturday - if they are to secure Champions League football next season.
A perfect finish to the season is realistically needed – hardly a guarantee after a run of form that has seen United win just two of their last 10 games.
Huddersfield will be hosting their final league game of the season – they will be determined to end a wretched season with a bang.
Huddersfield vs Man Utd team news and predicted line-ups
David De Gea will start Manchester United's penultimate Premier League match at Huddersfield, with back-up Sergio Romero injured.
Romero picked up a knee injury in training as people questioned whether out-of-sorts De Gea should start, while defender Eric Bailly will miss Sunday's trip with a season-ending medial ligament injury in his right knee.
Mason Greenwood is out with an issue of his own,but United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was not giving much else away. Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard were conspicuous by their absence from Wednesday's part-open training session, but Marcus Rashford and Antonio Valencia were involved.
Terriers boss Jan Siewert has confirmed centre-back Mathias Jorgensen would not be available to face United, while goalkeeper Ben Hamer has returned to training but will not feature.
Man Utd provisional squad: De Gea, Grant, Kovar, Young, Darmian, Valencia, Shaw, Rojo, Smalling, Jones, Smalling, Lindelof, O'Connor, Herrera, Garner, Matic, Pogba, Pereira, McTominay, Mata, Chong, Sanchez, Martial, Lukaku, Rashford.
Score prediction: Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United
With a cloud hanging over United again ahead of another pivotal summer at the club it is vital they put up some sort of fight for a top four finish in these remaining games.
