How Manchester United Have Lined-up Recently

André Onana has been an almost permanent fixture in goal, with a settled defence of Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs De Ligt, Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot in front of him.

Christian Eriksen has partnered Kobbie Mainoo in midfield in United’s past two league fixtures, with Casemiro relegated to the bench and new signing Manuel Ugarte being slowly bedded into the side.

In attacking midfield, Amad Diallo seems to have nailed down the right wing spot, with Bruno Fernandes and either Marcus Rashford or Alejandro Garnacho occupying the left side.

Joshua Zirkzee has been playing as the striker in the absence of Rasmus Hojlund.

Manchester United Recent Form and Tactics

After a difficult start to the season with defeats away at Brighton and at home to Liverpool, Erik ten Hag’s side have steadied the ship recently, going unbeaten in three games in all competitions against Southampton, Barnsley and Crystal Palace.

There is a notable fluidity to the side that was absent for large parts of last term, with Zirkzee’s clever link up play allowing the Red Devils to create numerous chances that they have largely failed to convert. Indeed, the team has the second highest xG in the Premier League as well as the unwanted record of the most big chances missed (17), showing that the next stage of the very clear improvement to the team is becoming more efficient in front of goal.

Manchester United Injuries to Consider

Victor Lindelof (Ankle) and Luke Shaw (Thigh) are expected back at the start of October, with Tyrell Malacia (Knee) and Lény Yoro (Ankle) expected back in Mid October and late November respectively.
