It appears unthinkable that Erik ten Hag will have the ability to preserve the identical XI that began the earlier Premier League match, as his Manchester United aspect head into tomorrow’s conflict with West Ham at Previous Trafford.
An damage, sickness and scandal-ridden season like no different has led to fixed enforced chopping and altering of the Dutchman’s aspect, however as issues stand (say it quietly in order to not jinx it) there aren’t any contemporary doubts main into the sport and he ought to, as soon as once more, have the ability to subject what he believes is his strongest beginning aspect.
This implies Andre Onana in aim, regardless of growing doubts over his kind and an honest debut from his backup, Altay Bayindir, two matches in the past.
In defence, Diogo Dalot will proceed at proper again. He appears to be the primary selection choice once more lately, though Aaron Wan-Bissaka, in any case, is combating a leg drawback.
Ten Hag mentioned that Wan-Bissaka “might be obtainable however I don’t assume he’ll make it for Sunday. However I’m undecided at this second. There’s a drawback in his leg.”
Raphael Varane appears to lastly have the ability to string a run of video games collectively after a variety of niggly accidents and may stick with it at proper centre again.
Lisandro Martinez was seen together with his foot packed in ice after being subbed on Thursday however Ten Hag has mentioned this was precautionary.
Luke Shaw ought to proceed at left again.
Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans are different choices. Victor Lindelof is again in coaching however it’s too quickly for him to characteristic.
In midfield, younger Kobbie Mainoo is flying in the meanwhile and may begin once more. Casemiro had a combined efficiency on Thursday and continues to be trying leggy and gradual after his personal damage lay-off, however will most likely begin once more as he works his approach again to full health. Scott McTominay, who got here off the bench to attain in opposition to Wolves, is another choice, as is Christian Eriksen.
Mason Mount is again in coaching however not able to play aggressive soccer.
The entrance 4 just about choose themselves in the meanwhile. Now that Hannibal, Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek are all out on mortgage, Bruno Fernandes is much more sure than ever to begin at quantity 10 as there is no such thing as a different specialist AM within the squad.
On the wings, Antony’s poor kind means he’s prone to proceed on the bench, with Alejandro Garnacho on the correct wing and Marcus Rashford on the left. Amad Diallo and Omari Forson are different choices whereas Facu Pellistri, Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood are all out on mortgage.
Up entrance, Rasmus Hojlund will hope to make it 4 objectives in 4 video games, and 5 in 5 consecutive Premier League video games during which he’s performed.
Anthony Martial, the one different striker, is out injured and never anticipated to return till April.
With all that in thoughts, right here is our predicted XI for the sport:
