FCSBvs.Man Utd

sportsmole.co.uk, 28 January 2025, 20:17
Manchester United could be without four players for Thursday's Europa League clash with FCSB at the National Arena.

Luke Shaw (calf), Jonny Evans (muscle) and Mason Mount (thigh) all remain sidelined though injury, while Manuel Ugarte will be assessed ahead of kickoff after coming off in the closing stages of Man United's 1-0 Premier League win at Fulham with a knock.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has missed Man United's last 11 games in all competitions and is not expected to return to the matchday squad amidst uncertainty over his future.

Ruben Amorim has regularly rotated his team since arriving at Old Trafford and he may decide to freshen up his starting lineup once again, with goalkeeper Altay Bayindir one of those pushing for a recall at the expense of Andre Onana.

Lisandro Martinez could retain his spot in defence after scoring the winner for the Red Devils last weekend, but either Matthijs de Ligt or Harry Maguire could be replaced in the back three by Leny Yoro, while Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui are the most likely duo to begin as wing-backs.

Toby Collyer started in Man United's 2-1 win over Rangers last week, before impressing as a substitute against Fulham, and he could be named in Amorim's midfield on Thursday alongside either Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen or captain Bruno Fernandes.

Both Eriksen and Fernandes are also in contention to operate further forward alongside either Amad Diallo or Alejandro Garnacho, while Joshua Zirkzee will push Rasmus Hojlund for a start up front.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Collyer, Mainoo, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund
