How Manchester United Have Lined-up Recently
Ruben Amorim has set his team up in a 3-4-2-1 formation since his arrival in November, with André Onana the number-one goalkeeper ahead of Altay Bayindir.
Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui and Lény Yoro have all spent time at centre-back of late, with Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot mainstays at wing-back.
Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes have rotated in centre midfield, with Fernandes also operating in attacking midfield with one of Joshua Zirkzee or Alejandro Garnacho. Rasmus Hojlund has kept his place as number 9 despite a 17-game goal drought.
Manchester United Recent Form and Tactics
Marooned in 14th place in the Premier League, Manchester United have endured a season of nightmares, with only the FA Cup and Europa League their saving graces so far. In all competitions, the Red Devils have won six of the previous ten games, albeit in a consistently unconvincing fashion. With injuries to key personnel such as Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo as well as the likes of Rasmus Hojlund and André Onana enduring sustained periods of poor form, there is much for coach Amorim to ponder heading into the final months of the season.
Manchester United Injuries to Consider
Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo are ruled out for the season, with Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Altay Bayindir, Toby Collyer and Jonny Evans also ruled out through injury. Patrick Dorgu is suspended following his red card against Ipswich, whilst Alejandro Garnacho faces a late fitness test as he is carrying a knock.
