Middlesbrough vs Man United - Football - England - Premier League - Tip Preview

Manchester United will be keen on putting a spirited performance and grabbing a quick victory even if it is 1-0, so that his boys can have a rest before the game at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

Manchester showed last week that they can come back from any position and from 2-0 down, came back to win 5-2. Following that they put on an outstanding performance in mid-week against the Gunners, and that is due primarily because of their defensive presence.

Rio Ferdinand will miss this game, which means Evans will probably partner Vidic in the centre of the park. Paul Scholes will probably get a game, as Sir Alex will look to have him in the centre of midfield against Arsenal in mid-week.

Boro have been struggling from the outset and their major reason is because of their lack of scoring form. Tuncay has been their top goal scorer with 6 goals, and they have managed 3 losses in their last 5 games, which tells you about their form as they get set to get relegated to the Championship this season.

Arsenal showed Boro last week, how the result was to be achieved, and expect Manchester United to play in similar fashion.
