Manchester United vs Watford live stream and how to watch Premier League 21/22 game online

The Manchester United vs Watford live stream will see the Red Devils return to EPL action at Old Trafford after securing a draw against Atlético Madrid in their midweek Champions League tie. 

It wasn’t pretty at times, but Manchester United emerged from the Metropolitano Stadium with a hard-fought draw. They will take that into the second leg against Atlético confident they can progress further in the Champions League. Attention now returns to their league form, which despite some criticism has been fairly solid recently. 

The side are unbeaten in seven and most recently dispatched bitter rivals Leeds United with a 2-4 victory at Elland Road. Not bad for a team that is supposedly in crisis, according to some pundits. A bright spark in this run has been the emergence of Anthony Elanga. The young Swede scored against Leeds and Atlético and interim manager Ralf Rangnick is already touting him as a “role model” within the squad. 

Rangnick will be pleased to have a mostly full strength side to choose from for the visit of Watford, though he is missing Scott McTominay and Edinson Cavani. Harry Maguire has been left on the bench for this game, as have Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho. 

A trip to Old Trafford to face a Manchester United side building confidence is probably the last thing Roy Hodgson and Watford would want to do right now. The Hornets did manage a victory over Aston Villa last weekend, but otherwise it has been a tough few weeks for the side, with defeats to Norwich City, West Ham and Brighton. 

In midweek they were soundly beaten at home by Crystal Palace. Midfielder Moussa Sissoko scored a bullet header, but otherwise the team looked devoid of attacking threat. They failed to manage more than a single shot on target. It’s worrying times for Watford fans, as right now they look like relegation favorites. A shock victory here could turn that picture on its head, but on paper that looks extremely unlikely. 

Here's how they line up:

Manchester United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Telles, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Elanga, Fred, Ronaldo.

Watford: Foster, Ngakia, Samir, Cathcart, Kamara, Sissoko, Louza, Cleverley, Sarr, Dennis, King.
