Bayindir, Fernandes And Mbeumo To Start | 3-4-2-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup Vs Burnley | OneFootball

Manchester United will welcome Burnley at Old Trafford this Saturday afternoon as they hope to secure a positive result at home in the Premier League. The Red Devils suffered a humiliating loss on penalties against Grimsby Town, which knocked them out of the EFL Cup earlier this week. Hence, Ruben Amorim would be desperate to get a positive response from his players versus the Lancashire outfit.

The Man United boss would set his team up in a 3-4-2-1 formation and is expected to make a lot of changes to his first XI for this game. Altay Bayindir, Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo could play from the start of this contest at the Theatre of Dreams.

Defence

Altay Bayindir is expected to operate in between the sticks for the Red Devils after Andre Onana’s woeful performance in midweek. Amorim could name a back three of Luke Shaw, Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.

Harry Maguire will provide cover for the centre-back positions on the bench.

Midfield

Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro will function as the holding midfielders as they look to retain possession well at the centre of the park.

Patrick Dorgu will get another chance to impress as the left wing-back, while Amad Diallo hopes to put his pace to good use on the right flank.

Mason Mount and Bryan Mbeumo will get the freedom to play as the attacking midfielders. They would both have to be at the top of their game if the Red Devils are to come out on top this weekend.

Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second half if required.

Attack

Matheus Cunha will spearhead Amorim’s attack up top. He would be eager to give a good account of himself in the final third.

Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee will make up the numbers on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the latter stages of the game if Man United are in need of a goal by then.
