[4-2-3-1]: Rashford recalled, New captain named and formation changed- Manchester United predicted lineups vs Liverpool as Ruben Amorim confirms THREE major changes ahead of the rivalry match
Manchester United will welcome back two key players for Sunday’s daunting trip to Liverpool.
Ruben Amorim’s side were so bad during Monday’s 2-0 loss to Newcastle that the United boss warned fans of a potential relegation battle.
Heading into an in-form Liverpool side is hardly ideal for the Red Devils, who currently sit seven points above the relegation zone.
They will be boosted, however, by the returns of Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte after they both sat out the Newcastle defeat due to suspension.
Kobbie Mainoo will surely start in midfield after coming on during the first-half of the Newcastle game for Joshua Zirkzee, who was sarcastically cheered off at Old Trafford.
Casemiro and Christian Eriksen looked all at sea in central midfield, so Ugarte will surely come in alongside the England international.
Marcus Rashford returned to the squad for the Newcastle game but did not feature and it would be a surprise to see him play here.
Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw are all thought to be injured.
Man Utd predicted XI: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Mazaroui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Amad, Hojlund, Fernandes
Injured: Mount, Shaw, Lindelof
Time and date: 4.30pm GMT on Sunday 5 January, 2025
Venue: Anfield, Liverpool
