Predicted Manchester United line-up to face Fulham

Add as preferred source on Google

Manchester United are back in domestic action on Sunday night, facing Fulham at Craven Cottage.

After Thursday’s dramatic victory over Rangers, Ruben Amorim will be quietly confident that another step forward can be taken on Sunday against Fulham.

Amorim labelled his Manchester United team the worst in history, accepting that he needs to start winning games quickly.

Manchester United are sitting 13th in the league and miles off where Ineos would have wanted the club to be this season – with one win in the last six – so starting a winning run now is imperative.

So this weekend, United need to pick up all three points and we expect Amorim to name a strong line-up.

How Ruben Amorim could line-up Manchester United

After losing 3-1 to Brighton in the Premier League last week, United need to pick up a victory this weekend, but it will be far from an easy task away against Fulham.

That being said, United will know that if individual errors are avoided then it should be a big win.

So here is how we predict United will line up in London.

Andre Onana

For the first time, Andre Onana’s position as No.1 is not safe. This is because Altay Bayindir has been very impressive in his recent performances to the point Amorim will be seriously considering a change, but we think he gives Onana this game to prove otherwise.

Matthijs de Ligt

On the right of the back three, Matthijs de Ligt should start with Leny Yoro dropping out after picking up a knock against Rangers.

Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire was involved in Rangers’ equaliser on Thursday as he miss-anticipated the pass to Cyril Dessers. However, we think it’s highly likely he will start this one.

Lisandro Martinez

Lisandro Martinez is an obvious starter on the left of the back three. Martinez’s brilliant assist on Thursday summed up his recent form.

Noussair Mazraoui

Noussair Mazraoui is becoming Amorim’s most useful tool as he can slot in perfectly in three positions. This weekend, he will play as a left wing-back.

Manuel Ugarte

After being rested mid-week, Manuel Ugarte should be back in the starting line-up. However, Amorim could just as well play Toby Collyer who was very impressive vs Rangers.

Kobbie Mainoo

Similarly to Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo was rested mid-week and in his absence, Collyer’s stock has risen exponentially. That being said, we find it unlikely Amorim drops his first-choice pairing.

Diogo Dalot

Back on the left for hopefully the last time – with a Patrick Dorgu deal close – Diogo Dalot is likely to start here.

Amad Diallo

Back behind the striker, Amad Diallo should start as Amorim will need his magic touch once again. Amad is arguably United’s most valuable player right now, so hopefully he performs to the level we know he can.

Bruno Fernandes

Alongside Amad, captain Bruno Fernandes is a shoo-in. Amorim has spoken glowingly about Bruno this weekend and he is bound to start against Fulham.

Joshua Zirkzee

Joshua Zirkzee would be the clear choice to start up front, as he has been over the past few weeks. Rasmus Hojlund has been a disaster when subbed on, so Amorim has little reason to change.
