Manchester United can ill afford another setback when the Premier League returns to Old Trafford this Saturday
For want of a better way of putting it, Manchester United's start to the season has been far from ideal.
We have seen old frailties come to the forefront as United continue to struggle away from home. Fortunately for the players, United will be back at Old Trafford this Saturday when they welcome Brighton and Hove Albion. The Portuguese star does not need reminding of the role he now holds in this squad and he will need to be at his best to rally the troops on the pitch.A lot has been said about United's defence especially after injuries left the back line threadbare. Unsurprisingly, United fans are still looking to Martinez to keep his fellow defenders in check.
But, on his day, the Brazilian remains a top-class player and in the right set-up can help protect the back four and play a crucial role in transition from one end of the pitch to the other. Plus, his strong mentality helps rise the levels of those around him, especially youngsters.After grabbing his first goalof the season at Arsenal pre-international break, it is now time for Rashford to hit the front.
