How Manchester United Have Lined-up Recently<\/span><\/h3>\n

Coach Amorim has <\/span>come under fire of late for his insistence<\/span> on sticking to his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation <\/span>amidst<\/span>United’s poor run of form.<\/span> Andr\u00e9 Onana, also under fire for poor performances, has been starting in goal for the Red Devils.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu have been the wing-backs of late, with three of Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and L\u00e9ny Yoro the centre-backs.<\/span><\/p>\n

In midfield,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Bruno Fernandes<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Manuel Ugarte<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are currently the <\/span>choice<\/span>, with Casemiro and Christian Eriksen deputising when needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

In attacking midfield, Fernandes,\u00a0<\/span>Joshua Zirkzee<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and Alejandro Garnacho have rotated, with Rasmus Hojlund up front.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester <\/span>United<\/span> Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sunday’s penalty shootout FA Cup defeat to Fulham compounded Manchester United’s miserable season, with occasional glimpses of progress quickly overshadowed by further damaging defeats. Sitting 13th in the Premier League and with just the Europa League left to salvage something from a miserable season, Thursday’s clash in Northern Spain takes on extra significance for Amorim’s under-fire side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester United Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo are out for several months, whilst Luke Shaw, Toby Collyer, Altay Bayindir, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Kobbie Mainoo are expected back in the coming weeks. Patrick Dorgu is suspended.<\/span><\/p>\n
