MAN UTD are back in action this weekend as they take on Norwich in Ralf Rangnick's third game at the helm.
United haven't lost in their last five games and looked to have turned a corner since the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

And they'll be expecting to pick up more vital points this weekend in their clash the 19th-placed Canaries at Carrow Road.
Norwich have performed better, however, since they appointed new boss Dean Smith last month.
But one man whose performed well for them this season, won't be in the running to play against United.
Is Brandon Williams eligible to play for Norwich against Man Utd?
Williams went on loan to Norwich from Man Utd in the summer and has been one of their standout players this season.
Initially, the Welshman struggled to assert himself into the side but has been a key performer in Smith's three games as manager.
Since the former Aston Villa manager was made manager, Norwich have picked up five points from 12, losing only to Tottenham.
Smith, however, will be missing United loanee Williams this weekend as he is ineligible to play against his parent club.
Premier League regulations have always prohibited a loan player from competing against their parent club.
The rule is only different in European competition such as the Champions League or Europa League.
Other loan players who haven't been able to play against their parent clubs this season are Conor Gallagher and Axel Tuanzebe, who are Chelsea and Man Utd players but currently play for Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.
