This week we look at Sunday’s game when Middlesbrough welcome Manchester United to the riverside. That’s right, its the return of the Premier League with Manchester United traveling to Middlesbrough with both teams desperate win. Middlesbrough are 19th in the Premier League whilst Manchester United are 6th, a position they want to change having been in the same place for a while.

Manchester United will travel north after their disappointing FA Cup Quarter final game against Chelsea in which they lost 1-0 with Kante getting the decisive goal. The will also be without several key players as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ander Herrerra, and Antony Martial will be missing through injury and suspension respectively.

The online website 888Sport have a dedicated page on Middlesbrough v Man United betting odds . Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka and Stewart Downing have been in the news this week as they were involved in a training ground bust up according to leading media outlets.

The left winger was understood to question the boss as to why he has been left out of the squad for the games.

Middlesbrough are also coming off a loss in the FA Cup, having been well beaten 2-0 at home to Manchester City.The FA Cup was the last real tournament for both teams and both will be extremely disappointed at this stage of the season.

Aitor Karanka stated this week that he wants a team of fighters for the remaining run in. If M’boro are to remain in the English top flight then they need to win more of the remaining fixtures starting with this Super Sunday clash.

Will Manchester United recover in time for the game, in between this they have to play at home in the Europa League against Russian team Rostov. With the Europa League now offering the winners the chance to qualify for the Champions League this is now an important fixture, even better for Middlesbrough.
