Erik ten Hag will no doubt be making changes to his side as they take on Sheffield United. Here’s how they could potentially switch it up.
Manchester United are back. Fans don’t know whether to be delighted or terrified. It’s been a pretty bad start to the season in all honesty.
United currently sit 10th in the table, with just four wins and, more importantly, four losses.
Things need to change soon – so can the dynamic switch at Sheffield?
United vs Brentford XI
Ten Hag‘s men did get back to winning ways, but in precarious fashion – as a Scott McTominay double sent United to victory against Brentford.
Here’s how United lined up that day.
- GK – Andre Onana
- LB – Diogo Dalot
- CB – Harry Maguire
- CB – Jonny Evans
- RB – Victor Lindelof
- CDM – Casemiro
- CDM – Sofyan Amrabat
- LM – Marcus Rashford
- CAM – Mason Mount
- RM – Bruno Fernandes
- ST – Rasmus Hojlund
Looking at that starting lineup, there are definitely going to be a few changes as United take a trip to Bramall Lane.
Eight potential changes
There also could be seven more potential changes. These include:
- Raphael Varane is back to full fitness, so he could certainly feature from the start
- Hannibal could start after Casemiro’s news
- Scott McTominay could also fill in for the absent Brazilian
- Christian Eriksen could be preferred after his international displays
- Antony could feature from the start for the first time since his return
- Alejandro Garnacho may finally be given a go from the start again
- Facundo Pellistri may be preferred on the right
- Sergio Reguilon could make his eagerly awaited return after being spotted in training
It’s all down to the manager at the end of the day but any of these names could certainly be given a shot after not featuring from the get-go against Brentford.
Ten Hag has had the international break to take some time out and reassess. We’re sure he already has his strongest XI in mind.
