Manuel Ugarte and Rasmus Hojlund are expected to start in Manchester United’s anticipated lineup

against Chelsea.On Sunday afternoon, Manchester United will seek to improve upon their midweek victory over Leicester City when they host Chelsea at Old Trafford in the Premier League. On Friday, United announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim as their new head coach. On Wednesday night, they advanced to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 5-2 victory in the inaugural game of interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

A much-needed confidence boost was provided to the players by their victory over the Foxes, which can be regarded as a must-win game against the Londoners. United are currently ranked 14th in the table, having only achieved one victory in their previous five matches. This weekend marks their return to the pitch. Van Nistelrooy, who will supervise the subsequent three games prior to Amorim’s commencement on November 11, is anticipated to select his matchday squad from the same collection of players that participated in the Leicester victory. Consequently, it is unlikely that he will implement numerous modifications.However, it is probable that he will implement a change in the goal, as Andre Onana is on the brink of reclaiming his position between the posts. Despite his arrival from Fenerbahce in September of last year, he was granted a rare evening off to observe Altay Bayindir start and make only his third appearance for the club against the Foxes. In terms of the defence, Van Nistelrooy may implement a single modification to the back-four that was initiated on Wednesday evening. Noussair Mazraoui is a probable candidate to return to the squad. In the event that he is chosen, he could potentially replace Victor Lindelof, which would allow Lisandro Martinez to reclaim the left-sided centre-back position. Diogo Dalot has been the starting right-back for the past four games and is expected to remain in that position, particularly after he provided an assist against Leicester. Consequently, summer recruit Mazraoui should be awarded the left-back position.

Rasmus Hojlund is expected to return to the attack after being replaced by Joshua Zirkzee in midweek. After scoring against Brentford a fortnight ago, the Dane will be eager to score in his second consecutive home league game. It is not surprising that Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho would provide support to the former Atalanta player from the flanks. Nevertheless, Amad will be advocating for the commencement of the project. United’s anticipated lineup against Chelsea: Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Ugarte, Casemiro, Fernandes; Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho.
