After the mid-week 2-0 humbling from Tottenham, Manchester United face a side they were poor against earlier in the season, Huddersfield Town, losing 2-1 in October’s reverse fixture. That had been United’s worst performance until the defeat at Wembley and as they are only five points better off than Spurs in fifth, the demand is to bounce straight back and claim victory as Champions League qualification is the absolute minimum required.
