Kambwala to start, Mctominayy in midfield, Garnacho right wing – Manchester United Starting XI vs Liverpool, team news and injury latest
The upcoming clash in the Premier League between Manchester United and Liverpool marks the 242nd chapter in their storied rivalry.
Manchester United is grappling with a string of injuries ahead of the crucial match. Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans picked up knocks in their recent bout against Chelsea, casting doubt on their availability for Sunday’s showdown.
Adding to their woes, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia are sidelined with various injuries. Anthony Martial and backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir are also nursing injuries, further thinning United’s roster.
Consequently, the potential starting lineup for Manchester United may include Andre Onana, Aaron Wan–Bissaka, Willy Kambwala, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, and Rasmus Hojlund.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is grappling with its own injury concerns. Stefan Bajcetic, Alisson, and Trent Alexander–Arnold are unlikely to return until the following week, potentially sidelining them for the clash with United.
Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, and Ben Doak are also out with injuries, while Wataru Endo’s participation remains uncertain after sustaining a knock.
Despite suffering a knee injury in their recent win against Sheffield United, Ibrahimia Konate is expected to be fit for the match against United, as confirmed by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp during his post-match press conference.
The potential starting lineup for Liverpool might include Caoimhin Kelleher, Conor Bradley, Ibrahimia Konate, Virgil Van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mo Salah, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez.
