Manuel Ugarte is expected to maintain his position in the Man United XI against West Ham United.
Antony has been included in the list of injured players, despite the fact that Jonny Evans and Bruno Fernandes are expected to rejoin the Manchester United squad for their upcoming match against West Ham in London. Evans, who was absent from the team’s journey to Fenerbahce on Thursday due to an injury, has resumed training, according to Erik ten Hag. Fernandes has also returned from his suspension. The remainder of the defense is more difficult to predict, but Andre Onana is expected to start in goal. Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia are all still unavailable. The latter three are currently training, but they are not yet match-ready. The most apparent back four line-up would consist of Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, and Mazraoui. However, the manager has the option of selecting Dalot – De Ligt – Evans – Martinez or Mazraoui – De Ligt – Evans – Dalot. Victor Lindelof is unlikely to be a starter. We have selected the initial option and anticipate that Ten Hag may maintain Dalot at right back and transfer the Moroccan to left back, rather than the reverse. Kobbie Mainoo remains injured in the midfield, while Christian Eriksen is currently in a state of exceptional form. Consequently, the issue is likely to be who will serve as his twin pivot partner. On Thursday, Manuel Ugarte played his most impressive game in a red uniform to date, and it is probable that he will be selected over Casemiro.
Toby Collyer and Dan Gore, who are members of the fringe squad, have also been absent due to injury. However, it is improbable that they would be selected to begin the game. It is certain that Fernandes will resume his position as the number 10 player. Mason Mount is also absent, as fans become increasingly apprehensive about his seemingly perpetual absences due to innocuous injuries. Ten Hag appears to have abandoned his early season strategy of rotating Amadou Diaby, Alejandro Garnacho, and Marcus Rashford on the wings. He is now persuaded that the latter two are his regular starters. In recent times, he has reversed the positions, ensuring that Rashford occupies the right wing and Garnacho occupies the left. In the past few days, it appeared that Amad had fallen even further behind Antony in the pecking order. However, the Brazilian’s injury may result in Amad receiving more opportunities once again. Rasmus Hojlund will almost certainly return to the starting lineup after serving as a substitute against Fenerbahce. Last weekend, he performed exceptionally well against Brentford, while Josh Zirkzee continues to appear to be swimming in unfamiliar waters. In light of the aforementioned, the following is our anticipated starting lineup for the 2 p.m. match tomorrow:
