Our predicted Manchester United starting line-up for tomorrow’s clash with Sheffield United at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils return to Premier League action on Wednesday night in hopes of ending an unwanted winless streak, which has seen them sustain three draws and one defeat in their past four outings.
They were also taken to penalties by Coventry City in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final tie, having blown a 3-0 lead by conceding three goals after the 71st minute.
Such affairs may have the United faithful harbouring concerns over hosting the bottom-of-the-table Blades, who have sustained 23 losses in their return to the top flight this term.
Team news update
In terms of Erik ten Hag’s selection options, he will be without numerous long-term absentees, such as Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw, as well as recent additions to the injury list, Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat and Willy Kambwala. The latter’s unavailability means that Casemiro will likely have to deputise in central defence again.
Following the weekend’s FA Cup clash, the manager was dealt even more concerns on the injury front. He revealed in his press conference today that Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay were withdrawn mid-game due to fitness complaints and are now doubts to feature against Chris Wilder’s side.
Similarly, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho also struggled with slight injuries but are expected to be deemed fit enough to start.
Predicted starting XIOnana, Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Maguire, Dalot, Mainoo, Eriksen, Amad, Fernandes (C), Garnacho, Hojlund.
