How Manchester United Have Lined-up Recently
Coach Amorim hascome under fire of late for his insistence on sticking to his preferred 3-4-2-1 formationamidstUnited’s poor run of form. André Onana, also under fire for poor performances, has been starting in goal for the Red Devils.
Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu have been the wing-backs of late, with three of Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Lény Yoro the centre-backs.
In midfield,Bruno Fernandes andManuel Ugarte are currently thechoice, with Casemiro and Christian Eriksen deputising when needed.
In attacking midfield, Fernandes,Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho have rotated, with Rasmus Hojlund up front.
ManchesterUnited Recent Form and Tactics
Sunday’s penalty shootout FA Cup defeat to Fulham compounded Manchester United’s miserable season, with occasional glimpses of progress quickly overshadowed by further damaging defeats. Sitting 13th in the Premier League and with just the Europa League left to salvage something from a miserable season, Thursday’s clash in Northern Spain takes on extra significance for Amorim’s under-fire side.
Manchester United Injuries to Consider
Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo are out for several months, whilst Luke Shaw, Toby Collyer, Altay Bayindir, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Kobbie Mainoo are expected back in the coming weeks. Patrick Dorgu is suspended.
