da leao： After securing a creditable 1-1 draw with leaders Liverpool last time out in the Premier League, Manchester United arguably face just as important a test when they take on Norwich on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils’ game-plan against Jurgen Klopp’s side was designed to completely nullify the Reds’ attacking threats, and by and large, they succeeded. But for a late equaliser from Adam Lallana, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men would have walked away from the contest at Old Trafford with all three points.

But against the newly-promoted Norwich, United will surely have to adopt a more attacking approach. Sitting back and hitting the reigning Champions League holders on the counter-attack is all well and good, but against a Canaries side that have already conceded 21 goals this season, nothing less than going all-out will do.
And with that in mind, here’s a look at how the Red Devils could line-up for the clash at the weekend.
After being rested for the game against Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday night, David de Gea will undoubtedly reclaim his place in between the sticks. In front of him, the Red Devils may persist with the back-three that served them so well against Liverpool, and so Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Marcos Rojo are likely to take on the centre-back duties.

At wing-back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Ashley Young will continue their responsibilities at flying forward and getting back in equal measure. Further forward, is where things could potentially get very interesting for United. The return of Anthony Martial from injury has give Solskjaer a welcome and much-needed boost in terms of options up front, and that could well pave the way to a subtle change in tactics too.
Daniel James has been one of the highlights and silver linings of United’s season thus far, netting three times already. But with Marcus Rashford finding his goal-scoring touch last time out against Liverpool, Solskjaer may well be tempted to field all three in the same line-up.
That could potentially see the United boss go for a 5-2-3 formation instead of the 5-3-2 seen at Old Trafford last weekend. A central midfield duo of Fred and Scott McTominay could provide the solidity in the middle of the park, with Rashford from the left, James on the right, and Martial straight through the middle.
It is an attack brimming with potential and one that will no doubt excite United fans.
