Manchester United go to Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon to face Sean Dyche’s Everton; here is our expected starting lineup.
Erik ten Hag’s team has made significant strides in recent games and is currently the most in form in the league.
Manchester United are presently seventh after four wins in five games, but will have fresh confidence with the return of some key players.
Mason Mount is thought to be injured, thus Luke Shaw’s return after months away has come with bad news.
United should expect a boisterous Goodison Park this Sunday following their 10-point deduction, which has dropped them to joint-bottom of the league.
Manchester United’s anticipated starting XI vs. Everton
Given how enthusiastic the Goodison Park crowd will be, expect Ten Hag to have a very strong side here.
As a result, despite injury concerns over the international break, Andre Onana should be in line to start in goal. It was established that he was fine, which should allow him to play ahead of Altay Bayindir.
It’ll be a toss-up between Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back, but we think the former Palace man will come out on top. Given the speed with which Everton is expected to start the season, his defensive abilities could come in helpful.
Luke Shaw starts at left-back after Ten Hag expressed confidence in his availability. If he is fit enough to play, he should do so from the outset.
Because Jonny Evans and Lisandro Martinez are injured, the central defensive pairing of Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane should start. Ten Hag stated that they can play together in specific games, and this is one of them.
United’s midfield choices have been severely limited in recent weeks. Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, and Mason Mount are currently unavailable.
As a result, a midfield duo of Scott McTominay and Kobbie Mainoo making his first league start is our option to face an Amadou Onana-less Everton.
Ten Hag will almost certainly start Antony on the right, where the Brazilian scored twice against Everton last season.
The left side should then see Alejandro Garnacho start, since he frequently performs admirably and only requires game time to fine-tune his end product and decision-making.
Bruno Fernandes starts in his normal position of ten, as expected. United’s captain will be hoping that the upward trend continues.
Marcus Rashford should start up front, with Rasmus Hojlund not being pushed back into action.
