The new era under Ruben Amorim at Manchester United kicked off with a draw. His side had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town in the Premier League. However, the group is showing signs of improvement under the new manager.
Defence
Andre Onana has been showing great but he is likely to be rested for this fixture. In his absence, Altay Bayindir should be taking up the gloves. Noussair Mazraoui looked fine in his new role and could be given a continuation.
No changes at the other two spots as well amid multiple injuries in the squad. Matthijs de Ligt and Jonny Evans should continue to form the three-man backline alongside Mazraoui.

Midfield
Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot are likely to operate on the wings to contribute to both aspects of the game.
Manuel Ugarte is likely to be included in the middle of the park as he can provide a higher work rate. Mason Mount can also be seen playing a deeper lying position to handle the midfield work.
Attack
Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho should provide the bridge between the midfield and the attacking line. Both are good carriers of the ball and can exploit the spaces really well.
To accompany them Marcus Rashford is the front runner after he scored in just two minutes. At the moment, he seems a more promising striker than the likes of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
Lisandro Martínez, Harry Maguire, and Victor Lindelöf are confirmed absentees while Leny Yoro is still doubtful.
