Confirmed Man United XI vs Man City: Carrick makes three changes, Shaw injured & Sesko dropped

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has confirmed his starting XI for today’s Premier League clash against Manchester City at Old Trafford.

Man United head into the Manchester derby on the back of a thumping 4-0 victory over Sabah FK in the UEFA Champions League on Thursday.

Carrick has made three changes to the starting XI for the all-important Manchester derby.

Senne Lammens will be hoping to mark the occasion by registering his first Premier League clean sheet.

Diogo Dalot returns to the right-back spot but Patrick Dorgu continues at left-back with Luke Shaw still injured.

Harry Maguire comes into the heart of the defence in place of Leny Yoro and will partner Lisandro Martinez at centre-back.

The midfield remains unchanged, with Youri Tielemans and Kobbie Mainoo retaining their places in the middle of the park.

Bruno Fernandes has rarely endured a quiet spell over the past 12 months and remains an undisputed starter in the No. 10 role.

Marcus Rashford replaces Benjamin Sesko in attack and is expected to start on the left wing, with Bryan Mbeumo on the right and Matheus Cunha operating as the centre-forward.

Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount provide further attacking options from the bench.

A victory today would give the Red Devils a huge early-season boost and could set the tone for what lies ahead in this campaign.

Confirmed Man United line-up (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Patrick Dorgu; Youri Tielemans, Kobbie Mainoo; Bruno Fernandes; Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo; Marcus Rashford
