Struggling Bruno Fernandes might be given a brand new position by supervisor Erik ten Hag in Manchester United’s dwelling match in opposition to Spurs tomorrow.
The skipper has been struggling for kind and there was hypothesis he might be dropped for the essential sport.
Nevertheless, Ten Hag has different issues, specifically, the midfield.
Casemiro has been seemingly banished from the primary workforce after an extended spell of poor kind. Just lately he has been changed by Christian Eriksen in midfield, with new signing Manuel Ugarte not totally match match or in control with the tempo of the Premier League.
Nevertheless, two matches per week is a giant ask for the 31 12 months previous Dane and having began Wednesday’s Europa League match brilliantly, scoring a stunner, he visibly drained towards the top and misplaced possession at a vital second to present Twente their equaliser.
Eriksen might and possibly must be rested after 4 video games in two weeks, however aside from younger Toby Collyer or Mason Mount, there are not any different choices to associate Kobbie Mainoo in midfield.
With three United wingers – Amad, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford – all enjoying effectively, enjoying Bruno as an eight might subsequently make sense for United. It will take the stress off the captain to get objectives and assists, hold some creativity within the holding midfield space and permit Marcus Rashford to play simply forward of Joshua Zirkzee, who appears to be like extra of a ten, within the ahead positions.
Ugarte, Eriksen, Mount and Rasmus Hojlund might then be choices on the bench to vary issues up within the second half if wanted.
In defence, we predict Matthijs de Ligt can be introduced again in for Harry Maguire at centre again. The Dutchman was rested on Wednesday and whereas Maguire didn’t do an excessive amount of fallacious, De Ligt and Lisandro Martinez appears to be the popular partnership.
Victor Lindelof is again in coaching however is unlikely to characteristic and Leny Yoro continues to be injured.
Luke Shaw continues to be injured and Tyrell Malacia shouldn’t be but prepared to start out his comeback, though in concept he might make the bench. So Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot are more likely to proceed as proper and left again, respectively.
With Andre Onana in aim, right here, then, is our predicted line-up for tomorrow’s 4.30pm kick off:
