Rangnick Gives Latest News on Man Utd vs Norwich Premier League Match
Rangnick Has Given the Latest News on Man Utd vs Norwich Premier League Match on Saturday. Head coach Ralf Rangnick said Manchester United are expected to welcome back the first-teamers who were given a rest for Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Young Boys in the Champions League.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka suffered knee and wrist injuries during that game and we await further updates on his fitness, but Luke Shaw played 60 minutes on his return to the side and could challenge the in-form Alex Telles for the left-back spot. Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani are expected to remain on the sidelines for a little longer, while Paul Pogba is still out and Anthony Martial has recently joined him due to a knee injury.
When asked about his selection for the Young Boys tie. Ralf explained, “On the one side, I wanted to give game-time to the players who played today and see them in a competitive level and, on the other hand, rest the others who played on Sunday.
“We had a long training session with those players today and we will have two more normal training sessions with them in order to prepare them for the Norwich game tomorrow [Thursday] and on Friday.”

Rock-bottom Norwich City host a new-look Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
Former Villa coach Dean Smith suffered his first loss in the Canary dugout away to Tottenham last weekend, ending Norwich’s glut of four games without defeat despite creating a number of chances. Ralf Rangnick eked out a 1-0 victory on his Old Trafford debut and is poised for his first game on the road in charge of the Red Devils.
Norwich have claimed one win sandwiched in the middle of their last nine meetings with United across all competitions, losing the other eight.
The Canaries’ last victory at Carrow Road came back in 2012, thanks to a goal from Anthony Pilkington – a former Manchester United youth product who played under Robbie Fowler at East Bengal in the Indian Super League just last season.
Brandon Williams, who is enjoying a fruitful loan spell with Norwich, will be ineligible as Premier League rules state players can’t face their parent clubs. Mathias Normann should be available again after a pelvic issue but Milot Rashica and Christoph Zimmermann look set to be ruled out. Young midfielder Todd Cantwell is back after a COVID-related absence.
Man Utd vs Norwich current form guide
That draw with Young Boys extended United’s unbeaten run in all competitions to five games, although Rangnick is likely to ring the changes after giving all 11 of the players who started the Premier League wins over Arsenal and Crystal Palace the night off at Old Trafford. The Reds’ last away league game, at Chelsea a fortnight ago, ended 1-1 with Jorginho’s penalty levelling Jadon Sancho’s breakaway goal.
After a difficult start to the season where they picked up just two points from their opening 10 league games, the Canaries have hit upon a decent run of form with two wins – against Brentford and Southampton – and two draws from their last five. Although still bottom of the league, Norwich are now within a win of Watford in 17th place.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka was taken off on a stretcher after the final whistle on Wednesday, after colliding with the hoardings when reaching a neat pass by substitute Iqbal.
Rangnick suggested the defender sustained a couple of injuries, to his knee and wrist, which could mean Diogo Dalot starts at right-back again, at Carrow Road. Luke Shaw returned in place of Alex Telles on the opposite flank, following his recent lay-off.
Man-of-the-Match Mason Greenwood enhanced his claims for a start in East Anglia with a brilliant goal and accomplished performance, following his assist when coming off the bench against Palace.

ESPN loves ManUtd. As much they say that they hate talking about ManUtd they can’t stop talking about ManUtd 😅😅. They have spend 15 mins speaking on rumours – Hypocrites.
Sack Ten Hag Now: Man Utd Fan Makes Bold Claim
It’s not Ten Hag fault when players like rashford do not put in all the effort after signing a new contract. Also ten hag had to deal with incredible amount of injuries which ESPN deliberately overlooks. So getting another manager isn’t going to solve anything.
It’s so funny how the English media fails to realize that the structure & the players is the problem at united…..but they trying to sack ETH who is an elite manger under a proper management structure 💯
The best manager that seems to be being overlooked shouod be n1 on the list for bayern utd liverpool is someone inzaghi. Hes done great things with Lazio and inter. Loads of experience and has got to european finals and won domestic leagues.
Manchester City 3-1 win over United in Manchester Derby.
It is very different getting an underdog /dark horse to perform vs going to an environment where the spotlight in on you everyday from day 1. The same thing happened at Bayern with a couple of their coaches…
Afcon 2024 victory is well deserved for Ivory Coast they left no stone unturned and they dominated throughout. If there is a one person who deserved to win the AFCON it was Sebastian Haller. In 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer but he recovered and he returned to play football in 2023 only to bottle the Bundesliga title on the final matchday to Bayern but here we are in 2024 where he scored the winner in the AFCON final to win Cote d’Ivoire AFCON title so congratulations🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🏆
Brazil Antony fulfill his potential at Manchester United?

But Ivory Coast won fair and square. They played better. Congratulations champs.
What Adingra did in the African Cup of Nation was phenomenal. Nigerians will remember him as a nighmare forever. The boy has a great future ahead of him.
Why Biased Ten Hag Cannot Discipline Rashford Like Sancho
Haller beats cancer, then comes to the AFCON and scores the most important goal in the final, the winning goal what a beautiful story for that man and Ivory coast, congratulations to them👏👏
Congratulations to Ivory Coast from cameroonian👏👏👏you organized and won the most beautiful AFCON in story, unbelievable achievment when we look how things went for you.
One of the best tournaments I’ve seen.
Almost every team demonstrated that they were not afraid of their opponent and played above expectations.
Congratulations to Côte d’Ivoire who never gave up and believed and implemented their progress towards goal as much as possible until the last second in this tournament. Kudos to Nigeria for high yield and quality.
Thank you for making the spectators so emotional and congratulations and best wishes to the Ivory Coast and the Ivorian people.

Congratulations to Ivory Coast for winning the Africa Cup🏆! The team showed strength and desire to win and to not give up until the end. And the fans were absolutely amazing
P.s Haller deserved it the most, since he suffered a lot.
The story of Côte d’Ivoire’s victory in the African Nations is one of the most beautiful stories in the history of football. We sympathized with this team’s version a lot and we will tell it to our children in the future 🧡

‘He’s very coachable, he wants to learn, to improve every day’ |SportsFila can feel the meaning of a ‘coachable player that wants to improve every day’. Because ETH has to deal with players that are not like this at all.
remember at Ajax TH once said “a process takes time, but by throwing in young players in big games that process gets accelerated”. Always stuck with me considering he let Mainoo debut against Everton (after the 10 point deduction at an intense Goodison Park) and then straight into the Galatasaray away game in the CL. H
He also has done the same with Garnacho last year and this year. Then he did the same with Pellistri against Bayern Munich who in my opinion did well enough to deserve another chance. I think it’s a way for him to see how they respond to the pressure and intensity. He’s not afraid to play the youngsters ONLY if he considers them good and fearless enough.
Why Roma loved and sacked Jose Mourinho
He made De Ligt Ajax captain at 18 years old because he saw leadership qualities. He has his own methods, but I’m convinced he knows exactly what he’s doing regarding the future of United. United fans need to remember 75% of this current squad won’t be part of the future so maybe allow him a bit more time to show what he’s trying to build.

ETH is a highly resillient manager to go through all the crisis and egos, poor performances, players personal issues and ownership drama and come out on the other side with these kind of performances. He brought in the right striker young full of potential and work ethic. Young players are starring in the squad WE ARE ON THE WAY.
Jadon Sancho Will REGRET His Behaviour At Man United
All the instability across the club that he’s gone through and still kept us in the Top 8. Now he’s finally seeing the other side of the drawn-out “club sale, no-sale”, multiple injuries, media controversies, spoiled players, and all the other nonsense, we see the team moving into sixth position. The man deserves all the praise in the world for being so resilient.
It’s interesting hearing ten hag speaking on rashford because he mentions a lot of qualities which he possesses, however they are all physical and technical, the one thing he didn’t speak positively about was his mentality and for me this is what has always separated Rashford from the very best.
In football and sport as a whole mentality is the one thing you need more than anything, it’s what separates the good from the great and I don’t know if rashford has that real hunger and desire in him to be great. The kind of desire where you’re willing to get hurt to score a goal.
