Manchester United were enjoying a flawless start to their season – right up until they lost to arch-rivals Manchester City last weekend and then got tripped up by Feyenoord in the Europa League on Thursday.
After midweek defeat to Feyenoord followed Manchester City’s triumphing in the first Manchester derby, Jose Mourinho needs a win to escape a potential rut for his new Manchester United side.
So here are five reasons why Manchester United fans will be expecting Ibrahimovic, Rooney and co.to thrash Watford and get their title challenge back on track…
Watford started their campaign in disappointing fashion, picking up only a point from their opening three games, but have turned it around after a four-goal rout against West Ham, who have been the story of the league thus far, for all the wrong reasons.
“Obviously, when you lose matches, the mood and feeling is not the same. I know they want to win, they want to work and that is what we have to do”.
“It is normal when you fight for top positions that it happens but I have a very good, strong relationship with him”. United take on Watford FC at 12:00 (GMT) today as they look to return to winning ways. Hence they will come into this Manchester United game with their tails up.
‘The last two games we’ve played, we haven’t made the best of starts especially in the first half, and we need to change that.
“We have had one defeat in the Premier League – but that’s the Premier League”, Mourinho told BT Sport ahead of the match. “I believe on Sunday they will try to win the match and give everything and I will be just by them to try to help”.

If Mourinho will depend on Ibrahimovic¸ Mazzari has a huge offensive weapon in the form of Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney as they have it in them to score goals against any opposition. TV options and live streaming can be found below.
