Manchester United travel to the Gtech Community Stadium for today’s Premier League clash against Brentford.
The Red Devils beat Chelsea by a 2-1 scoreline at Old Trafford last weekend after goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
The latter is suspended after his red card. Alongside him, Amorim has confirmed that three more players are ruled out for today’s game.
Ahead of the early kick-off, Amorim could make at least four changes to the starting line-up.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Predicted Line-up:
Altay Bayindir has been ever-present in goal for United in the Premier League. He has the backing of the manager and should continue between the sticks ahead of Senne Lammens.
We anticipate one change to the backline with Harry Maguire making way for Leny Yoro. Yoro had a difficult outing against Manchester City and was replaced early in the second half.
The Frenchman could be reinstated into the back three alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw.
There will be an enforced change in the wing-back department this afternoon. Noussair Mazraoui has sustained a fresh injury, while Amad Diallo is absent following a family bereavement.
Diogo Dalot was spotted playing at right wing-back on his return to full training this week. The Portuguese looks poised to start in the role with Patrick Dorgu on the opposite end.
With Casemiro suspended, Amorim has an easy choice to pick Manuel Ugarte alongside Bruno Fernandes in the heart of the midfield. There is the temptation to play Kobbie Mainoo, but the United graduate’s reduced defensive awareness means he may not be trusted in the number six role.
Further forward, Amorim finally has the opportunity to start his dream attacking trio in the Premier League. Matheus Cunha is fully fit and should partner Bryan Mbeumo in the attacking midfield department. Benjamin Sesko is poised to lead the attack for the Red Devils.
Sesko has failed to find the back of the net in his first six appearances for United. The Slovenian has got into good scoring positions in the box, but has not received the service. Hopefully, he can end the streak against the Bees, who have one of the worst defensive records this term with 10 goals conceded so far.
