(3-4-1-2) Martinez back in the XI,new Academy player replaces Benjamin sesko”, Predicted Man United line up vs Everton – as Ruben Amorim makes Five bold changes to previous XI
Manchester United will resume their Premier League campaign against Everton at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have picked up 18 points from their opening 11 games. The club are just one point adrift of the Champions League places after a five-match unbeaten streak.
United have shared the spoils in their last two outings, at Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur, and will aim to return to winning ways against Everton next Monday.
Ahead of the game, we anticipate manager Ruben Amorim to make two changes to the line-up.
The first one could be in the heart of the defence, with Harry Maguire being doubtful.
The England international sustained an apparent hamstring injury against Spurs and was forced to be substituted. He was replaced by Leny Yoro, who could now make the XI.
The £49 million-rated ace started against Brighton & Hove Albion and Forest before dropping to the bench for Maguire. The Frenchman is likely to be reinstated if Maguire is sidelined.
If Yoro starts, he will feature on the right side of the back three, which means Matthijs de Ligt should return in the middle with Luke Shaw on the left, ahead of Lisandro Martinez
Martinez has had multiple training sessions with club and country after his long injury lay-off, but Amorim could handle the Argentine with extra caution, with substitute appearances to start with.
Aside from Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui could make way for Mason Mount. Amad Diallo played in the right number 10 role against Spurs before slotting into the right wing-back position.
The Ivorian star could feature as a wing-back against Everton, with Mount getting the nod in the final third. The manager has appreciated Mount’s high pressing and work rate in the past.
With Benjamin Sesko nursing a knee injury, Matheus Cunha looks poised to continue as the makeshift striker. Mount will accompany the in-form Bryan Mbeumo in the attacking midfield department.
