On
the back of that much talk about performance from Manchester United against
Stoke City, the attention shift to the next fixture – Capital One home fixture
against Norwich City. For once too since Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign, this might
not be that one fixture where United fans will get to see more younger players –
with the exception of Adnan Januzaj, or maybe Wilfred Zaha.David
Moyes had repeatedly insisted that the Capital One Cup will be one trophy that
he wants to win. Given the shaky start to the Premier League campaign so far it
is not surprising as Moyes understands that at Manchester United winning
trophies is the prerequisite to be the manager of this club. As such Capital
One cup will represent one of the ‘lesser’ challenge of winning trophies for
United. As such United fans hoping to see more youngsters in the lineup will
probably be disappointed.
David
Moyes will probably use this opportunity to allow squad members game time,
players like Fabio da Silva, Alexander Buttner, Anderson, Ashley Young, Javier
Hernandez and probably in the goal keeping department too. If veteran defender
like Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are fit they too might get game time too. The
likes of Adnan Januzaj will be definitely to an automatic starter and there may
even be some game time for the forgotten man – Darren Fletcher. One player
Moyes must also consider in his lineup will be Wilfred Zaha – an outstanding prospect
and the last of Sir Alex Ferguson’s signing. But Moyes will also be wary of not
making too many wholesale changes as it will affect the momentum United gained
from the hard fought win over Stoke City.
This
will be the last of the four series of home game for Manchester United in
October. A win will be expected even though Norwich City will no doubt be encouraged
by United’s stuttering form so far this season. This will also be the time
where David Moyes further stamp his mark as United’s ‘Chosen One’ – with a
convincing victory.
