Erik ten Hag’s team, Manchester United, must win their match against West Ham on Saturday at midday. Here is our expected starting lineup.
Manchester United, who have lost their past three games, will be eager to go back to winning ways after last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Liverpool.
In recent weeks, Erik ten Hag’s team has struggled, failing to build on a strong performance against Chelsea.
This Saturday, though, won’t be an easy one as West Ham, who were hammered by Liverpool midweek, is a team that can play well on their day, as evidenced by their performances in Europe.
Therefore, we anticipate that Ten Hag will take no chances in this game, at least when it comes to choosing his team. Thus, this is our expected starting lineup against The Hammers.
Manchester United vs. West Ham probable lineup
Andre Onana, who is now tied with Nick Pope and Jordan Pickford for the most clean sheets in the league, will be a part of any United lineup that is at its best this season.
Onana will be looking to demonstrate his improvement with a solid performance in a match that caused former United custodian David de Gea a great deal of suffering the previous season.
Moving on to defence, Diogo Dalot will miss this match due to suspension. He was outstanding against Liverpool. Luke Shaw should stay at left back, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka should start in his place.
Ten Hag has revealed that Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, and Harry Maguire are out of the starting lineup in central defence, leaving little room for choosing. Thus, Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane appear to be lockdown candidates.
With Bruno Fernandes back from suspension, a familiar trio should be reinserted into the midfield. Fernandes is going to start in position 10, with Sofyan Amrabat dropping out and Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay starting deeper.
Since the offensive is still successful in bringing the team to a close loss in the end, it won’t change. Together with Rasmus Hojlund at the top, the strongest duo at the moment is Antony on the right and Alejandro Garnacho on the left.
