Manchester United are preparing to host Everton at Old Trafford in the Premier League this weekend. They beat Bodo/Glimt by 3-2 in the Europa League in the previous game. Their latest win must have given them the needed confidence and courage.
It will be a good opportunity for Ruben Amorim’s men to test the waters before they head into the clash with Arsenal the following week.

Defence
Andre Onana didn’t have a regular day at the office as he exceeded goals which he shouldn’t have. He will be desperate for redemption when he will take onto the field this weekend. As multiple defenders are unavailable due to injuries, Noussair Mazraoui should be continued in the backline.
Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez are the other two names that will form the three-man defence. It will be interestinghow they all three adapt to the new roles.

Midfield
Luckily Manchester United have all their midfielders available for this clash.
Ruben Amorim is likely to recall young Kobbie Mainoo to form the midfield pair with Casemiro, who should come at the expense of Manuel Ugarte.
Attack
Tyrell Malacia was handed a handful of minutes in the previous game but might not start this time. Luke Shaw is likely to get the much-anticipated start on the left wing.
Alejandro Garnacho and skipper Bruno Fernandes are playing in the central areas with Diogo Dalot providing his services on the right flank.
Rasmus Hojlund was brilliant in the previous game and he should be continued as the striker in the lineup. It also means that Marcus Rashford has to compete for his position.
Jonny Evans (knock), Victor Lindelof (groin), and Harry Maguire (calf) are all confirmed absentees. On the other hand, Leny Yoro (foot) is recovering well but shouldn’t be risked by rushing fast.
