The big question being asked by Manchester United fans is when will this team finally win a game? Their opponent on Sunday, Queens Park Rangers, seems like the perfect opponent to help the Red Devils finally erase the zero in the win column. QPR have only scored a single goal in league play, so this has to be the team that the United defense can stop ... right?!

Louis van Gaal is still chasing his first win as the new United head coach. This week he’ll try to get it against on of the worst offensive teams in the league.

Key Player: The Entire Manchester 18-man roster
It's time for everyone to step-up. There's no more excuses for United, even with several players still injured. Van Gaal has spent a truckload of money to bring Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, Radamel Falcao and others to Old Trafford, and it's time to turn things around. There's simply too much talent assembled on this team to be performing as badly as they have been. QPR is tied with Burnley as the worst offensive team in the EPL, so if the United defense can't manage to slow them down, there might not be any hope.
Key Matchup: United vs. The Law of Probability
Louis van Gaal is five matches into his reign at Manchester United and he remains winless. There has been injuries all over the place and a broken roster left by David Moyes that he's been working to fix. In addition, he's been asking players to adapt to his 3-5-2 system. So far, nothing has worked, but after another big spending rush at the end of the transfer window, it appears the Dutchman has things the way he wants. Surely this is the time for their first win, surely the odds are in their favor. Surely they can't lose again...
Manchester United injuries and suspensions
Out: Michael Carrick (ankle), Phil Jones (hamstring), Marouane Fellaini (ankle), Chris Smalling (groin), Jesse Lingard (knee).
QPR injuries and suspensions
Out: Alejandro Faurlín (knee). In Doubt: Joey Barton (hamstring)
United’s impressive injury list expanded this week with the addition of defender Phil Jones who suffered a hamstring injury on international duty. With Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo both available, that doesn’t leave Van Gaal without options at the back, just without much depth.
Match Date/Time: Sunday, 4 p.m. local, 11 a.m. ET
Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester, England
TV: NBCSN (U.S.), Sky Sports 1/HD (U.K.), Sportsnet World (Canada)
