Manchester United will be seeking to avenge their loss to Arsenal on the opening weekend of the season when they face Fulham in the Premier League.
Riccardo Calafiori scored the winning goal after Altay Bayindir’s error, but United’s progress was undone by another goalkeeping calamity at Old Trafford last Sunday.
Despite the fact that Andre Onana had recovered from his preseason hamstring injury, Bayindir was selected as the goalkeeper. Ruben Amorim’s greatest concern as the weekend approaches will be whether the Cameroon international will be able to return to goal for the match at Craven Cottage.
Bayindir’s pre-season performances were cited as the reason for his preference in goal against Arsenal by Amorim; however, his performance against Arsenal may alter this notion.
Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha made impressive debuts and are expected to maintain their positions in the starting lineup. Mason Mount also had a productive day at the office, working alongside the new tandem in an advanced role. However, Benjamin Sesko could be unleashed in a starting role after completing another full week of training.
The Slovenian international made his debut against Arsenal in the second half, emerging from the substitute. Despite his unassuming appearance, he managed to generate two opportunities.
Amad Diallo, who replaced Diogo Dalot in the second half, was also a shining spot, providing a more attacking outlet down the right. It is a viable alternative to contemplate on Sunday in the capital.
Matthjis de Ligt played an exceptional game in the center of the back three, ensuring that Viktor Gyokeres had a peaceful debut, despite the fact that United’s defense did very little wrong against Arsenal.
The Netherlands international could maintain his position while Harry Maguire is prepared and accessible.
The Metro predicts that Manchester United will face Fulham with an XI.
Sesko is nearly certain to make his complete debut, as United is currently lacking a competitive edge against Arsenal.
Amorim is faced with a significant dilemma regarding his goalkeeper, but the rest of his team may be able to make a decision independently following a promising afternoon last week.
