Manchester United v Watford: match preview

Odion Ighalo could make his full Manchester United debut against his former club and expect David De Gea, Bruno Fernandes and Fred to be restored to Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s starting lineup following Thursday’s 1-1 draw at Club Brugge. Nigel Pearson’s Watford will fancy a win at Old Trafford as they were victorous in December’s reverse fixture, an indication of United’s struggles against the lower-ranked sides. Jamie Jackson
