Anthony Elanga and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to start - Manchester United predicted lineup vs Watford

Manchester United are searching for a third consecutive win in the Premier League against Watford on Saturday.

United returned from the winter break with underwhelming results against Middlesbrough, Burnley and Southampton, but they've since claimed the three points against Brighton and Leeds, while they also secured a draw at Atletico Madrid in midweek.

United were second-best in the first half of that match but Anthony Elanga's late equaliser salvaged a result.

Watford have been in the relegation zone for most of the season and Roy Hodgson is now in charge. Hodgson won the first game of his reign at Vicarage Road against Aston Villa last week, but his side most recently lost 4-1 to Crystal Palace.

Ralf Rangnick's side will be hoping to make amends for their 4-1 defeat against Watford when the two sides last met.

David de Gea conceded four goals on that occasion and he'd love a clean sheet this time around - he's a certain starter here.

Although Diogo Dalot was seemingly Rangnick's preferred pick at right-back, the German started Wan-Bissaka against Leeds and used him from off the bench against Atletico, which suggests he might return to the starting XI for this match.

The experiment with Victor Lindelof at right-back didn't work in Madrid. Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane are set to start in central defence again while Luke Shaw can start at left-back, despite Rangnick praising Telles' display in midweek.

United's midfield lacked balance against Atletico and Ranngick will attempt to restore that.

McTominay was ruled out of Wednesday's game through illness and he's unavailable again. Nemanja Matic made a significant impact at Atletico and he's likely to start alongside Fred and Bruno Fernandes, who were all on
