Manchester United select mercurial Dutchman as they seek crucial Norwich win

Three massive points to play for

Patrick McCarry

Manchester United have only won two of their last 10 away games but Norwich’s recent form at home has been pretty rank.

Louis van Gaal is sticking with what he knows for the crucial Premier League clash with Norwich at Carrow Road.

United could go within a point of fourth place Manchester City with an away win. That would put real pressure on for the final Champions League spot.

“We know we have to win every single game left this season [to qualify] and then we’ll wait and see,” said Juan Mata before kick-off.

Mata comes in for the suspended Marouane Fellaini while Memphis Depay takes over from Marcus Rashford. Matteo Darmian is in for Daley Blind, who misses out on the squad completely.

Norwich are right in the relegation doldrums and will be desperate for three points to give them hope going into their final two games.

Irish fans will note Robbie Brady and Wes Hoolahan’s inclusion.
