Player to Watch for Manchester United: Nani
Wayne Rooney is unlikely to play in this match, and that puts the spotlight of the Red Devils offense squarely onto Nani.
Nani is a sublimely talented winger, and is more than capable of handling this this spotlight. He already has three goals in Premier League play this campaign. He will look to add to that total here.
Player to Watch for Norwich: Bradley Johnson
Johnson is a very talented attacking midfielder. He is a complete player and can contribute on offense and defense.
He is going to be asked to do a lot in this one. If Norwich is going to have success, chances are that Johnson will be at the center of it.
Key Matchup: John Ruddy vs. Nani
John Ruddy better bring two pair of keeper's gloves for this one. He is going to be a busy man. If Norwich is going to hang in there, then he is going to have to play out of his mind.
As it was mentioned above, Nani figures to become more of a focus of this offense with Rooney out.
He is going to get his chances on goal in this one.
What They're Saying: Wayne Rooney was recently sidelined with a hamstring injury. Anytime there is an injury to the great Rooney, it is going to be big news. Rooney's return in time for Norwich does not look good.
Sir Alex Ferguson, as quoted on metro.co.uk:
""It's difficult to say. I don't think he'll be available for next week. I think maybe a few weeks."

Score Prediction:
Manchester United 3
Norwich 1
