Manchester United Need To Win

Sir Alex Ferguson

The Manchester United play­ers pack their bags to visit West Brom­wich Albion at the Hawthorns this Sat­urday look­ing for their second away vic­tory of the cam­paign. The Black Coun­try club will be without ver­sat­ile Chile inter­na­tional Gonzalo Jara and exper­i­enced Romania centre back Gab­riel Tamas, while Manchester United will miss Ji-Sung Park, Paul Scholes, Michael Owen, John O’Shea, Owen Har­greaves and Ant­o­nio Valencia.

When Manchester United and West Brom­wich played each other at Old Traf­ford earlier this sea­son, West Brom­wich Albion man­aged to make an impress­ive two-goal comeback in a thrill­ing 2–2 draw. Although Manchester United remain unbeaten this cam­paign and top the Premier League table, they were held to a dis­ap­point­ing 1–1 draw against Birm­ing­ham City at St Andrews on Tues­day. Des­pite of the fact that West Brom­wich have man­aged to defeat Middles­bor­ough 3–0, Manchester City 2–1 and Tot­ten­ham Hot­spur 2–0 in their last three matches at the Hawthorns, Sir Alex Ferguson´s play­ers should come away with all three points if they are able to hold their nerve. The Reds may have had their prob­lems fin­ish­ing off away games this sea­son, but they still have to start as firm favourites.
