da betano casino： Since the last time these two sides took to the field there has been much drama unfolding in both camps. Manchester United have been the story of the nation with new arrivals having been parachuted in for massive fees as Louis van Gaal sets about repairing the damage of a poor three game run in the Premier League.
da stake casino： QPR meanwhile had a less productive run up to the transfer deadline, with a number of targets having escaped their grasp while star striker Loic Remy slipped out of the it door as Chelsea stumped up his £8.5m release fee.
The XIs are likely to be fascinating on Sunday afternoon and here are six players we think could have a big influence on the game at Old Trafford.

CLICK ON WAYNE ROONEY TO REVEAL THE SIX

Angel di Maria
Even though United struggled to a 0-0 draw against Burnley last time out, Di Maria showed signs of the ability he has. Louis van Gaal dropped the Argentine into a deeper role in a bid to accommodate his wealth of attacking options, but the whereabouts of the former Real Madrid man on Sunday are as of yet unknown.
Di Maria can influence the game from almost any role in the final third, and as La Liga’s top assist maker last season, the relationship he could strike up with Radamel Falcao, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney is mouthwatering.

Steven Caulker
To counter United’s vast attacking options, QPR will need to be at their absolute best defensively. One man the weight of responsibility will fall on is Caulker, whose pace alongside the ageing Rio Ferdinand will be absolutely vital.
Whether in a three or two man backline – Harry Redknapp has varied his formation already – the former Cardiff captain will have a tough task keeping Rooney, RVP and possibly Falcao quiet at Old Trafford.

Radamel Falcao
The headline grabber of deadline day could well get his debut on Sunday afternoon. Falcao has set pulses racing once again among the Red Devils’ fans with his goalscoring prowess giving a much needed boost after the woeful start to the season the club have been through.
Although Falcao’s addition does not address the real problems in United’s XI, his presence could be too much for newly promoted QPR to handle… as long as his knee holds out!

Charlie Austin
For all of United’s attacking additions, their rearguard is still shaky at best. Austin will likely lead the QPR line alone on Sunday following Remy’s exit, and he will have been buoyed by the struggles LVG’s men have had already.
Austin is a proven scorer at Championship level and following the opening of his top tier account against Sunderland, he is a threat United will have to be wary of with Old Trafford no longer the fortress it once was.

Wayne Rooney
While all of the talk at United has been focused on arrivals, Rooney’s importance as strong as ever. The Red Devils’ skipper is a vital cog in Van Gaal’s set-up and is likely to be involved in anything positive United can conjure in the final third against QPR.
Rooney may even be shifted into a midfield role as the Super Hoops come to town to accommodate new signings, but the Liverpudlian has shown an ability to influence proceedings from such a position in the past.

Joey Barton
With United’s midfield still relatively weak, Barton may get the space to make an impact on the big stage. The divisive veteran has the class to run the show for his side, but his hot-headedness has been a problem in the past.
