Not sure why this game is an early kick off seems like a pain in the backside for the fans of both sides normally the early games are out in eastern europe where the timezone difference becomes an issue.
Anyway Utd will line up with a new(ish) man in the dugout as Micheal Carrick takes charge for this one.
In terms of injury news Luke Shaw I assume will be ruled out due to concussion protocol having gone off for the second league game in a row due to a blow to the head under the rules I assume he will not be allowed to play for 7 days. Greenwood missed the game on Saturday with Covid so assume he won't be travelling with the team and not sure if Cavani is fit either.
I guess the big question for Carrick is does he try to change something or does he stick with the current system and just hope he gets a reaction from the players as they know part of the reason Ole has lost his job is their own failures.
DDG
AWB Lindelof Bailly Telles
VDB Fred
Sancho Bruno Rashford
Ronaldo
I don't think he should start Maguire he's banned vs Chelsea so I think he needs to play Bailly and Lindelof together, VDB surely has to start he was good vs Watford and the form of the other midfielders rules them out. If Matic wasn't 100 years old I'd be starting him too but he's not going to do 2 games in 4 days. Up top think it kind of picks itself I'd consider dropping Bruno for Lingard but given what he did on social media last week not sure I really want to see Lingard in a Utd shirt again that was either pure stupidity or a very big dig at his own club.
