Real Madrid vs Man Utd - 5 Ways The Red Devils Can Win

3. Take Advantage Of Injuries

Cassilas Madrid legend and consistent No. 1 for pretty much the last decade, Iker Casillas will be badly missed by Real for this encounter. The shot stopper fractured a bone in his hand during a Copa del Rey clash with Valencia and now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Introducing you, therefore, to back-up keeper Diego Lopez, who began his career at the Bernabeu before moving on to Villarreal and Sevilla. He returned to Madrid in 2012 and has only made three appearances for the side. This is clearly a weak link that United must target. With Robin van Persie in fine goalscoring form and Wayne Rooney recently discovering his shooting boots, the Red Devils must test Madrid's stand-in goalkeeper to the full.
