Amrabat dropped in 3 key changes | Expected Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1) vs West Ham
Today, Manchester United faces West Ham United in the early Premier League kick-off at the London Stadium.
Despite being winless in their last three outings across all competitions, the Red Devils enter the match with boosted morale after a hard-fought goalless draw against Liverpool last weekend.
Manager Erik ten Hag will be aiming for a solid defensive performance similar to the one displayed against Liverpool but will also be eager to see his team find the back of the net after three consecutive goalless outings.
For the upcoming clash, United welcomes back Bruno Fernandes following his one-game league suspension.
However, Diogo Dalot is suspended after his late sending-off against Liverpool. Victor Lindelof won’t be available due to a groin injury that required surgery, sidelining him for at least one month.
Predicted Line-up in a 4-2-3-1 Formation:
- Goalkeeper: Andre Onana
- Onana showcased a solid performance against Liverpool, earning a clean sheet with eight saves. He will be aiming for another shut-out.
- Defence: Wan-Bissaka, Evans, Varane, Shaw
- Aaron Wan-Bissaka replaces the suspended Dalot at right-back. Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane continue in central defence, with Varane demonstrating impressive clearances in the previous game. Luke Shaw completes the backline at left-back.
- Midfield: McTominay, Mainoo
- Scott McTominay, playing an attacking role against Liverpool, partners with Kobbie Mainoo in the center. McTominay’s impressive duels won last weekend earn him another start.
- Attacking Midfield: Fernandes
- Bruno Fernandes, back from suspension, occupies the number 10 position against West Ham, replacing Sofyan Amrabat.
- Forwards: Rashford, Garnacho, Hojlund
- Marcus Rashford is anticipated to replace Antony on the right wing. Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund continue in their respective positions on the left wing and as the number nine.
This lineup aims to balance defensive solidity, midfield control, and attacking prowess, with Rashford’s proven record against West Ham providing an added attacking dimension.
