Mainoo starts, 5 big changes | Expected Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Fulham with Yoro decision made
Manchester United travel to Craven Cottage for today’s Premier League clash against Fulham.
The Red Devils have already suffered 10 defeats in the top-flight campaign including a 3-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford last weekend.
Manager Ruben Amorim will expect a better performance against the Cottagers on the road following a morale-boosting win over Rangers in the Europa League.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Predicted Line-up:
Altay Bayindir had another solid outing against Rangers in Europe, but we expect Andre Onana to get the nod in goal against Fulham.
Onana made a high-profile error versus Brighton last weekend, but Amorim is expected to keep the faith in him for the league games.
Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro were substituted early against Rangers with knocks. However, the pair have travelled to west London.
Harry Maguire should be reinstated into the starting XI alongside Martinez. We would pick De Ligt to accompany the experienced duo.
Leny Yoro has started a string of games, and he could be handled with more caution as he only returned from foot surgery last month.
Noussair Mazraoui was left out of the squad against Rangers due to a possible muscle injury, but he has travelled for the Fulham game.
Amorim may not risk him too. We expect Amad Diallo to continue from right wing-back with Diogo Dalot on the opposite end once more.
Toby Collyer and Christian Eriksen were surprise picks in midfield versus Rangers, but the duo are likely to drop to the bench against Fulham.
Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo were handed a much-needed breather. The pair should reclaim their positions in the heart of the midfield.
Bruno Fernandes is guaranteed his place in the number 10 role and could be partnered by Alejandro Garnacho, who was unlucky not to score in midweek.
Joshua Zirkzee did not muster a single shot on target on Thursday. Rasmus Hojlund could be handed the opportunity to impress as the main striker this evening.
