Manchester United host Huddersfield Town in a Premier League fixture on Saturday at Old Trafford.
With 25 games played, United find themselves with 53 points - 15 adrift of leaders Manchester City. The Red Devils' unbeaten run of 2018 was ended by Tottenham Hotspurs in the midweek clash at Wembley. Manchester United are up against Huddersfield Town on Saturday with a point to prove.
The Terriers had a good start in their first ever Premier League appearance, but they have struggled to perform consistently. They are without a victory in their last seven games in the Premier League. Their last victory came on 16 December against Watford at Vicarage Road. They currently sit just one point and one place above the bottom three.
