Confirmed Man United XI vs Everton: Amorim makes two changes with Cunha out, Lacey set for…

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has named his side for today’s Premier League clash with Everton at Old Trafford.

Amorim has made two changes to the side that drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur before the November international break.

Harry Maguire and Matheus Cunha are both absent from the squad after suffering injuries.

Cunha reportedly suffered a knock on the head in training, opening the door for Joshua Zirkzee to make his first start of the campaign.

Senne Lammens has been selected again ahead of Altay Bayindir between the sticks.

The 23-year-old arrives brimming with confidence after making his senior Belgium debut last week.

He will be desperate to back that up with another clean sheet this afternoon.

Matthijs de Ligt continues to be at the heart of the back three with Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw supporting him.

Noussair Mazraoui will be eager to support the attack from the right wing-back spot after picking up two assists in the international games in November.

Patrick Dorgu keeps his spot, leaving Diogo Dalot to watch on from the bench.

Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes will look to dictate the rhythm, controlling the match from the centre.

Kobbie Mainoo has returned to the matchday squad after missing the previous clash due to a knock he sustained in training.

Amad Diallo started in the right number 10 position against Spurs and retains his position.

Bryan Mbeumo has enjoyed a fantastic start to his life in Manchester. He is expected to operate as a left-sided number 10.

Zirkzee leads the line against a side he scored twice last season.

Benjamin Sesko remains sidelined with a knee injury but Lisandro Martinez has made his long-awaited return from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury he suffered in February.

He earns a place on the bench alongside academy star Shea Lacey.

The 18-year-old has been named in the senior squad for the first time and will be eager to make his debut today.

Confirmed Man United line-up (3-4-2-1): Senne Lammens; Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Luke Shaw; Noussair Mazraoui, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Dorgu; Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo; Joshua Zirkzee
