Middlesbrough vs Manchester United: Predictions
Middlesbrough have also failed to nick even a single point at home in their games against top sides like Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool. On the other hand, Manchester United’s stainless run of 17 games is a big confidence booster going into this clash. The Red Devils may be without some of their key players, but they look too good for the disorganised Boro side at the moment.
