Confirmed Man United XI vs Chelsea: Carrick makes three changes|Tielemans dropped, Cunha&Yoro start

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has officially unveiled his starting XI for today’s Premier League game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Carrick has made three big changes to his side that was hammered by Bournemouth at Old Trafford last time out.

The 45-year-old was expected to be relieved from the managerial duties but INEOS have decided to him another chance.

Senne Lammens retains his place between the sticks but is yet to earn his first clean sheet this season.

There is only one change in defence, with Lisandro Martinez coming in for Ayden Heaven.

He will be partnered by Harry Maguire who has been a trusted stalwart under the United head coach.

Leny Yoro has been the most impressive defender for United this campaign. He retains his starting position at right-back with Diogo Dalot operating from the opposite side of defence.

Kobbie Mainoo returns to the matchday squad but is not fit enough to start the encounter.

Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba will continue their midfield partnership.

Youri Tielemans has started every game for the Red Devils this campaign but has been dropped today.

Bruno Fernandes replaces him in the number 10 position.

Mason Mount makes way for Matheus Cunha on the left wing, with Amad Diallo retaining his place on the opposite flank.

Bryan Mbeumo leads the line with Benjamin Sesko not expected to return from injury until at least January 2027.

Confirmed Man United line-up (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot; Andrey Santos, Carlos Baleba; Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo, Matheus Cunha; Bryan Mbeumo
