We’re in April and they sit 7th in the Premier League. I’m not his biggest fan, but Thomas Frank has done a remarkable job there. I just don’t want to see him smiling at full-time tonight.
United lost last time out against Newcastle and we desperately need to get back to winning ways in the league. This is a good chance to do that but we can’t underestimate our opponents. As Erik ten Hag would say, the attitude needs to be right.
