Manchester United will visit King Power Stadium to face Leicester this weekend. They have played well this season and lost only three games so far. Each Premier League team has played 18 games already and 23 matches are yet to be played.
Man Utd is second on the points table with 41 points,11 points behind Manchester City and three points ahead of the third spot team, Chelsea. This weekend, United will come up with what fans were desperately waiting for.
The star midfielder returns
Paul Pogba’s suspension has culminated after United played three Premier League games without him.
He was shown a direct red card by the match referee in the game against Arsenal. The red card gave the fans a traumatic experience as the team had Man City in the next round to play against.
Paul Pogba’s absence during last two months has hurt United dearly, as they were on the top of the league table before the midfielder was injured. When he came back, the team was in the second spot and eight points behind City.
Paul Pogba’s stellar performance can be seen in every match. His return against Leicester will definitely refill the squad’s morale. He can also be featured in the game against Bristol in the EFL Cup this midweek. The midfielder has played eight Premier League games this campaign. He has three goals and five assists so far this Premier League.
The title is far from over
Manchester City is undoubtedly a top team this season in the soccer world. They haven’t lost any games in the Premier League and are on the top of the table with 52 points. They are the only team to beat all big-six teams in the domestic league before Christmas.
However, Manchester United fans still believe there are some chances to win the Premier League if United stay invincible from now on.
Even if United wins each game, they’ll only finish top if Man City loses more than three games this campaign.
Given this situation, it almost looks impossible that Man United will lift their 21st Premier League title by the end of this season. Even United veterans are suggesting that Jose Mourinho, the United manager, should focus on the Champions League.
However, coming back to the point, the comeback of the Pogba-Matic alliance will surely add something different to United’s playing 11. It’ll be interesting to see how far Jose’s fuel takes his team this season in every competition. Jose still has so many things to prove at Old Trafford and will look to win major trophies with Manchester United.
