Man Utd predicted lineup vs Liverpool - Premier League | OneFootball

Manchester United are searching for a surprise result against league leaders and bitter rivals Liverpool in the Premier League this Sunday.

The Red Devils are under immense pressure heading to Anfield after four defeats on the spin, with Ruben Amorim unable to create positive change during his first six weeks on the touchline. Visiting the red half of Merseyside is the last thing the Portuguese coach needs as he looks to change Man Utd's fortunes.

Injuries can no longer be blamed for the Red Devils' dismal form and performances, with Amorim still seemingly uncertain of his best starting lineup. The former Sporting CP manager may not want to experiment with his XI at Anfield, with fears of a potential thrashing.

Here is how Man Utd could line up this weekend.

GK: Andre Onana - Reinvigorated at the beginning of the campaign, Onana, much like the majority of his teammates, has returned to an unconvincing and unconfident wreck in recent weeks. He's guaranteed to be busy at the weekend against the division's most menacing forward line.

CB: Matthijs de Ligt - De Ligt made his first start for Man Utd in the reverse fixture and produced a largely rotten performance in the 3-0 home defeat. Things haven't improved for the Dutchman, who could hardly cut a more contrasting figure to compatriot Virgil van Dijk right now.

CB: Harry Maguire - Man Utd have triggered Maguire's contract extension as they search for leadership and the bulky defender will offer some authority in defence on Sunday. He will be kept on his toes by the relentless Luis Diaz, whose pace and quick feet may cause serious issues.

CB: Lisandro Martinez - Martinez's diminutive stature has proved a problem in recent weeks, with the Argentinian bullied by Joelinton as Newcastle United doubled their advantage at Old Trafford last Monday.

RM: Noussair Mazraoui - Anthony Gordon offered the Moroccan no respite last time out and Cody Gakpo will prove a similarly stern challenge for the summer recruit. It could be a long afternoon at Anfield.

CM: Kobbie Mainoo - Mainoo was the man who replaced Joshua Zirkzee after just 33 minutes against Newcastle and the midfielder at least offered a little more protection than his teammates.

CM: Manuel Ugarte - The Uruguayan's tenacity and grit will be essential against Liverpool, with Man Utd likely to find themselves under consistent pressure. He returns from a one-match ban that saw him miss the Newcastle defeat.

LM: Diogo Dalot - One of the few decent performers against Newcastle as he featured from the less familiar left-hand side. A battle with the league's most in-form player, Mohamed Salah, will be an entirely different proposition, however.

RF: Amad Diallo - The Ivorian has been one of very few bright sparks in a dark season for the Red Devils and he produced the match-winning moment in the FA Cup meeting between the two sides last season.

ST: Rasmus Hojlund - After signs of life early in Amorim's reign, Hojlund has now gone five games without a goal. The powerful Denmark international must offer more to Man Utd's misfiring front line.

LF: Bruno Fernandes - Fernandes has not been immune from criticism this season and a third red card of the campaign didn't help his side against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The skipper missed the bruising defeat to Newcastle last time out due to suspension.
