Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been at left-back in recent games.<\/p>\n<p>Despite playing at centre-half against Coventry due to the ongoing injury crisis, Casemiro has been a mainstay in midfield alongside Kobbie Mainoo, with Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford in front of them. Rasmus Hojlund is the main man up front.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>The Red Devils were incredibly fortunate to beat Championship side Coventry City in Sunday&#8217;s FA Cup semi-final, the Sky Blues coming back from 3-0 down to implausibly force extra-time amid yet another United collapse. Before last weekend, Erik ten Hag&#8217;s side had won just once in five games in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With an ever-changing backline due to injuries and a chaotic playing style, Ten Hag\u2019s men have <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.90min.com\/posts\/most-shots-conceded-2024-ten-hag-defends-man-utd-record\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">conceded more shots than<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0any other team in Europe this campaign, an indictment of the team\u2019s inability to keep possession and dominate in games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/08\/arsenal-victor-gyokere-transfer-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Arsenal Learn Price Tag for \u201cIncredible\u201d Striker Amid Manchester United Interest<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Due to an inconsistent press and a lack of willingness of forward players to track back, the midfield is often left to cover too much ground as the opposition attacks wide-open spaces, all too frequently given a free run at the injury-hit rearguard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Injuries To Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Manchester United&#8217;s injury list currently stands at an incredible 14 players, with long-term absentees Tyrell Malacia (Knee), Anthony Martial (Groin) and Luke Shaw (Thigh) all out until at least early May.<\/p>\n<p>Lisandro Martinez (Calf) and Victor Lindelof (Thigh) are also out until early May, with Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane expected back slighter sooner with muscle injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Rashford (Ankle) and Scott McTominay (Groin) are strong doubts for Wednesday&#8217;s game, along with Sofyan Ambrat (Knock) and Kambwala (Undisclosed). Mason Mount is also out of contention.<\/p>\n<p>Fernandes (Hand) and Garnacho (Muscle) are minor doubts, but deemed more likely to feature than the players above.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>GK: Andr\u00e9 Onana<\/p>\n<p>RB: Diogo Dalot<\/p>\n<p>CB: Casemiro<\/p>\n<p>CB: Harry Maguire<\/p>\n<p>LB: Aaron Wan Bissaka<\/p>\n<p>CM: Kobbie Mainoo<\/p>\n<p>CM: Christian Eriksen<\/p>\n<p>RW: Antony<\/p>\n<p>CAM: Bruno Fernandes<\/p>\n<p>LW: Alejandro Garnacho<\/p>\n<p>ST: Rasmus Hojlund<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United host last-placed Sheffield United in a midweek Premier League clash at Old Trafford this Wednesday, April 24.
