Full manchester united squad as star players missing for Liverpool match. This is very bad how come. God we are smoked🙀🙀🙀
Manchester United is gearing up to recover from their recent setback, eyeing a showdown with their long-standing rivals, Liverpool, in today’s Premier League clash.
The Red Devils faced an unexpected defeat against Chelsea midweek, squandering a lead of 3-2 at Stamford Bridge with two late stoppage-time goals. Manager Erik ten Hag is eager for his team to bounce back strongly from this disappointment.
Despite grappling with the absence of key center-backs like Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans due to injuries, ten Hag will urge his squad to deliver a spirited performance as they brace themselves for the derby at Old Trafford.
The expected Manchester United lineup is as follows:
In goal, Andre Onana is set to continue as the first-choice goalkeeper, aiming for his ninth Premier League clean sheet of the season.
With Varane, Evans, Lisandro Martinez, and Victor Lindelof unavailable, teenager Willy Kambwala is poised to pair up with Harry Maguire in central defense.
Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are likely to feature as full-backs, with Wan-Bissaka possibly switching to the left, replicating the FA Cup quarter-final strategy against Liverpool.
In midfield, a forced change may occur due to Casemiro’s recent return from injury and a potential knock picked up in the previous match. Kobbie Mainoo is expected to step into the number six role, partnering with Mason Mount in central midfield.
Further forward, no alterations are expected, with Bruno Fernandes in his usual number 10 position, flanked by Antony and Alejandro Garnacho on the right and left wings respectively.
Garnacho, who shone with two goals in the previous encounter against Chelsea, deserves his place in the starting lineup, while Antony showcased his quality with his first league assist of the campaign.
Leading the attack, Rasmus Hojlund is likely to maintain his starting spot, despite the temptation to include Marcus Rashford. Hojlund’s current form makes him the preferred choice for the striker role.
Manchester United will rely on this lineup to clinch a crucial victory against Liverpool and reignite their pursuit of success in the Premier League.
