Manchester United have the opportunity to kickstart their season against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday evening in the Premier League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have stuttered frequently this season, taking just 10 points from their opening seven games, and currently languish in 14th place.

Their chastening defeat by Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League once again stirred talk over Solskjaer’s future, but a victory against Everton prior to the international break somewhat smoothed those tensions.
