Andr\u00e9 Onana is the goalkeeper, with Diogo Dalot a regular at right-back. Raphael Varane has been a mainstay at centre-back, partnered by either Jonny Evans or Victor Lindelof. The Swedish defender and Sofyan Amrabat have been filling in at left-back for the injured Luke Shaw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo have been the regular pairing in midfield of late, except in the last round of the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest, for which Scott McTominay started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/03\/14\/arsenal-almost-signed-mason-mount-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2018<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Deal Was All But Done\u2019: Journalist Reveals Arsenal Almost Signed \u2018Unbelievable\u2019 Star Before Man Utd Snagged Him<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alejandro Garnacho has been ever-present on the wing recently, able to play on both flanks. Bruno Fernandes has started in the number 10 position, with McTominay as an auxiliary number 8\/second number 10 for the past two encounters against Everton and Manchester City. Antony is a rotation option on the right wing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Marcus Rashford has been starting as a striker in recent weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Manchester United Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Red Devils have been inconsistent &#8211; with four wins and two losses in all competitions in the past six games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whilst results have generally been favourable, performances have not matched up as Erik ten Hag&#8217;s side have had to contend with an unprecedented injury situation &#8211; severely compromising their style of play, fluidity in possession and tactical shape against the ball. A morale-boosting, if unconvincing win over Everton last weekend will provide some confidence going into this intense grudge match.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Manchester United Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Number two goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is suspected to be out until the end of the month &#8211; with a muscular injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Luke Shaw is out for the season with a thigh injury, whereas Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia are expected back at the end of the month with respective knee injuries.
