MUN vs CLC Dream11 Match Prediction: Though Manchester United play hosts to Colchester under lights, there is an air of expectation that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could opt for a stronger than expected lineup in the upcoming Carabao Cup quarter-final round. After impressive wins against Spurs and Manchester City in a matter of few days, United once again had to resort to a disappointing draw at home to Everton.
With that being said, Colchester will go in with a pragmatic approach since breaking down teams has been a major issue for the red devils this season.
