(4-2-3-1): Mainoo and Yoro returns but Garnacho, Ugarte and six other stars missing out as Ruud van Nistelrooy names a surprised lineups against Fernabahce
Manchester United’s search for a first win in the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League season continues when it takes on Fenerbahçe.
The Red Devils are fresh off their third Premier League victory of the season with a 2–1 comeback win over Brentford at Old Trafford. Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund were both on the scoresheet to override Ethan Pinnock’s first-half header as Erik ten Hag’s seat cooled off just a bit with his first win since mid-September.
United hopes to pick up its first three points in Europe but faces a tough task against Fenerbahçe at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in what will very likely be an unwelcoming environment for ten Hag’s team. Not only will there be a hostile atmosphere, but United faces off against former head coach José Mourinho and former players Fred and Sofyan Amrabat.
Ten Hag’s list of unavailable players isn’t getting any shorter after Jonny Evans and Casemiro came off injured against Brentford. Both players appeared to have suffered knocks and could return for this weekend’s clash vs. West Ham United but the team will still be without players like Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount.
Meanwhile, Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw are both nearing returns from their respective leg and calf injuries.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs. Fenerbahce (4-2-3-1)
United predicted XI vs Fenerbahce: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Casemiro, Eriksen; Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho.
