Premier League 2019-20: 3 things Manchester United need to do to defeat Norwich City

#1 Play Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Daniel James together

Solskjaer should try to fit in Rashford, Martial, and James together against Norwich

In the past, Sir Alex Ferguson did everything necessary to fit in all his important players on the pitch. Solskjaer needs to do something similar against Norwich - he needs to ensure Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Daniel James all start the game.

Martial announced his return to the starting lineup by scoring the only goal in the midweek Europa League win. To say Manchester United have missed him would be an understatement because United have struggled to find goals in his absence.

With the Frenchman back in the team, Rashford and Daniel James can play their natural football and Martial can spearhead the goalscoring responsibilities. Rashford and Martial have not started together since August, but Solskjaer could use them as a two-pointed attack against Norwich.

In addition, James could start in the No. 10 role, where he could find a lot of joy between the lines.

Alternatively, the Norwegian could also use the three of them as a front three. When they start together, Manchester United have blistering pace on the counter, which should be enough to secure three points against the Canaries.
