Predicted Man Utd line-up vs FC Twente

Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host FC Twente in their first league game of the Europa League tonight.

The Red Devils played out a frustrating goalless draw against Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend.

They should have been two or three goals ahead in the opening half, but were let down by their finishing and some fine saves from Dean Henderson.

The second half was quite even between the clubs, but they should have put the game beyond sight with the scoring chances created at Selhurst Park.

Ahead of tonight’s game against FC Twente, manager Erik ten Hag is bound to make some changes.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Andre Onana was rested for the Carabao Cup third round win over Barnsley, but we don’t expect something similar to happen tonight.

The Cameroon international has been ever-present in the league and European games and he should start ahead of Altay Bayindir once more.

In backline, there could be a solitary change from the goalless stalemate in south London.

Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot should continue from the full-back positions.

Matthijs de Ligt could be handed a breather with Harry Maguire coming into the starting XI to partner Lisandro Martinez in central defence.

In midfield, we expect Manuel Ugarte to make his full home debut. Kobbie Mainoo should partner him with Christian Eriksen dropping to the bench.

Bruno Fernandes was far from his best last weekend, but he remains an undisputed starter for United from the number 10 role as the captain.

Marcus Rashford could be reinstated into the starting line-up from the left wing. Alejandro Garnacho could start on the right flank ahead of Amad.

Rasmus Hojlund returned from injury at the weekend, but Ten Hag could be cautious with him and he could feature off the bench. Joshua Zirkzee looks on course to lead the attack.

The Dutchman looked lively with his link-up play against Palace. He needs to find the back of the net, considering the fierce competition from Hojlund.
