Manchester United will visit the Cardiff City headquarters in the 18th Premier League weekend. So far, Manchester United is still ranked 6th in the temporary standings, and Cardiff is currently ranked 16th.

This is the first game since Mourinho was fired by United. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is expected to improve the team and win in his first game with Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho has just parted ways with Manchester United. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, was appointed as temporary coach of the team. This former red devil striker, has big enough hopes to win this fight, but he doesn't have enough to prepare the team to face Cardiff, as his first match.

Luckily for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, in his first match, he met a team that could not be saved from relegation in the 2013/2014 Premier League last season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, does not seem to be making significant team changes. He will only rely on good players from a number of players who have been in Manchester United. Like Paul Pogba, chances are he will be put on the starting XI after only being on the bench for three matches.

United really have to prepare full strength if you want to win in the inaugural match with the red devil. Cardiff is an opponent that Manchester United must watch out for despite being in the bottom of the standings.

In his last three home games, Neil Warnock's side have beaten Brighton, Southampton and Wolverhampton. Callum Paterson, will be a player who must be watched out closely by Manchester United. He has scored 4 goals with Cardiff and Sean Morrison, players who have provided three assists.

Head to Head and Prediction of Cardiff city vs. Manchester United

In the last two matches, Manchester United have recorded four wins and one draw against Cardiff. That is, United more dominated the victory over Cardiff. And it's a tough game for Cardiff to get 3 full points.

While in his last match Cardiff City recorded three times two and three defeats. Wins when meeting Wolverhampton 2-1, and wins at home to Southampton 1-0. Lost when visiting Everton headquarters 1-0, lost to meet West Ham 3-1, and lost when meeting Wardford 3-2.

In the last five matches Manchester United have appeared quite bad, this number only recorded one victory, two defeats and two matches held in a draw. One win when meeting Fulham 4-1, losing when meeting Valencia at UCL 2-1, and losing when they met Liverpool 3-1. Two draws at Southampton 2-2, and Arsenal 2-2.

From the analysis and performance of the two teams, even though United were more favored in this match, their performance in five games looked quite bad. But the change of coach may be a new energy for the team, to be able to win three full points for the team in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's inaugural match. My prediction is Cardiff City 1-2 Manchester United. What do you think?
