How Manchester United Have Lined Up Recently
Manchester United have lined up in a 4-2-3-1 for most of the season, with goalkeeper André Onana playing all but one game.
Diogo Dalot is the regular starting right-back, with two of Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Willy Kambwala, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof at centre-back depending on availability. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been at left-back in recent games.

With Casemiro covering at centre-back amid a sustained defensive injury crisis, Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen have rotated in alongside Kobbie Mainoo, with Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and one of Antony or Marcus Rashford in front of them. Rasmus Hojlund is the main man up front.
Manchester United Recent Form And Tactics
It is fair to say that Manchester United are limping, rather than running towards the finish line of their season. Now mathematically sure not to make the top 4 and qualify for the Champions League following England losing its fifth Champions League spot this week, the Red Devils have struggled for any kind of consistent form recently, winning just one of their previous five Premier League games.

A draw last time out against Vincent Kompany’s relegation-threatened Burnley once again showed the team’s deficiencies, with what looked for all the world to be the game winner ten minutes from time cancelled out by a penalty conceded through some catastrophic defending.
With an ever-changing backline due to injuries and a chaotic playing style, Ten Hag’s men have conceded more shots than any other team in Europe this campaign, an indictment of the team’s inability to keep possession and dominate in games.
Manchester United Injuries To Consider
Bruno Fernandes (Muscle), Scott McTominay ( Knee) and Jonny Evans (Muscle) all face late fitness tests, whilst Marcus Rashford (Ankle) has an outside chance of being fit. Victor Lindelof (Thigh), Anthony Martial (Groin), Luke Shaw (Thigh), Raphael Varane (Muscle), and Lisandro Martinez (Leg) are all in with a chance of being fit for the home game with Arsenal next weekend. Tyrell Malacia (Knee) is out for the season.
