Andr\u00e9 Onana has been a permanent fixture in goal but is currently at the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon, so experienced Turkish number two\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/28\/manchester-united-altay-bayindir-debut-fa-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Altay Bayindir<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0will get the nod in goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The defence has been reasonably settled recently, with a back four of Diogo Dalot, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane and Aaron Wan-Bissaka starting the past two fixtures against Tottenham in the League and Wigan in the Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/25\/facundo-pellistri-granada-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2018Agreement Getting Closer\u2019: Man Utd On Verge Of Sealing Transfer For \u2018Great\u2019 Winger<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In midfield, Kobbie Mainoo has been an ever-present recently, with Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen rotating next to him in Erik ten Hag&#8217;s 4-2-3-1 formation. In front of them, a forward four of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund have made the team in the most recent fixtures as the manager has attempted to find consistency in both results and squad composition amid a flurry of injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Manchester United Recent Form And Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To put it mildly, Manchester United have been consistently inconsistent all season. In all competitions, the Red Devils have won twice, drawn once, and lost twice in the past five fixtures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tactically, Erik ten Hag has deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation throughout the season, with the ultimate aim being to play out from the back with a stable defence. However, numerous injuries have severely compromised the ability to build from Andr\u00e9 Onana, and the team has encountered repeated issues in build-up both in defence and midfield, particularly when Scott McTominay is deployed &#8211; in a deeper role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/27\/manchester-united-callum-wilson-availability\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Man Utd \u2018Alerted\u2019 By Emergence Of \u2018Brilliant\u2019 86-Goal Premier League Forward<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Offensively, the team&#8217;s best phases of attacking play have come in transition, with the speed of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho always a danger for opponents. Rashford has two goals and two assists in his last four games in all competitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rasmus Hojlund has struggled over the season but is suffering from the lack of service and the difficulties in the build-up behind him. Despite these issues, he has two goals in his past four games, suggesting a growing entente with his team-mates. Expect a strong Manchester United XI as they chase the only remaining silverware available and attempt to avoid a giant-killing upset.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Manchester United Injury And Unavailability Concerns<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manutd.com\/en\/news\/detail\/erik-ten-hag-reveals-team-news-for-newport-v-man-utd\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Erik ten Hag<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0expects Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw to be in contention for this fixture.
