Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has confirmed his starting XI for today’s Premier League clash against Ipswich Town at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils head into the contest desperate to respond after suffering a shock 2-0 defeat to Hull City in their opening league game.
A convincing display and all three points will be the minimum expectation as United begin their Old Trafford campaign for the 2026-27 season.
Carrick is known for placing his trust in a settled side, but the United manager has made four changes to his starting XI.
Senne Lammens expectedly keeps his spot between the sticks.
Diogo Dalot has made his way into the starting XI, with Noussair Mazraoui dropping to the bench.
Ayden Heaven has also been dropped after a subpar performance against the Tigers.
Lisandro Martinez will partner Harry Maguire at the heart of defence.
Luke Shaw retains his position at left-back.
Kobbie Mainoo returns to the line-up and will start alongside summer signing Youri Tielemans for the first time, while Andrey Santos misses out.
Bruno Fernandes remains undisputed in the number 10 position.
Marcus Rashford, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha make up an exciting attacking trio, although it remains unclear who will lead the line.
Rashford has replaced Patrick Dorgu and could operate as a makeshift centre-forward, allowing Cunha to move into his preferred role on the left flank.
Mason Mount is absent from the matchday squad yet again despite returning to training earlier this week.
Confirmed Man United line-up (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Youri Tielemans, Kobbie Mainoo; Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo; Marcus Rashford.
