Manchester United journey the quick distance to Anfield to face Liverpool tomorrow with nearly no-one besides essentially the most optimistic of followers anticipating them to get something out of the sport.
Regardless of a run of losses, head coach Ruben Amorim is adamant he gained’t change his system, so we will anticipate a 3-4-3 formation once more.
Andre Onana will likely be in objective.
The again three may yield a shock. Lisandro Martinez has been struggling for type and was substituted towards Newcastle on Monday, being changed by Leny Yoro. While the left aspect will not be the Frenchman’s pure place, United did look extra secure following his introduction.
It’s due to this fact potential that Amorim will gamble on the teenager, along with his further burst of tempo doubtlessly necessary in attempting to include Mo Salah down that flank.
Harry Maguire will most likely proceed within the centre of the again three, with Matthijs de Ligt at proper centre again. Amorim confirmed yesterday that Maguire will likely be staying on the membership for one more 12 months, so he appears integral to his plans.
Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are nonetheless injured.
We anticipate the wingbacks to stay the identical, with Noussair Mazraoui on the best and Diogo Dalot on the left. Tyrell Malacia is an alternative choice however he has struggled to search out his toes after an extended harm layoff.
Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte each return from suspension and will type the midfield pivot, however we expect Amorim will play Kobbie Mainoo alongside Ugarte and play Fernandes greater up the pitch.
Amad will most likely hold his place as Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho stay unfancied by the coach and Mason Mount is injured. Antony is an alternative choice but additionally unlikely to be trusted to start out.
Up entrance, until a false 9 is chosen, the selection is between Rasmus Hojlund and Josh Zirkzee. Neither have been taking part in nicely, however Amorim declared the Dutchman to not be a quantity 9 final week and pulled him off after half-hour taking part in within the 10 place towards the Magpies.
It appears unlikely he will likely be chosen within the beginning XI after that fiasco.
With all that in thoughts, right here is our predicted XI for tomorrow’s 4.30pm kick-off:
