Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs Fulham

How Ten Hag’s Side Lined Up vs Newcastle United in Carabao Cup Defeat

Andre Onana continued his spell as the undisputed number-one goalkeeper this season. The back four in front of him continued to change as Sergio Reguilon replaced Jonny Evans, who returned to fill in at left-back. Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof started as the centre-backs with Diogo Dalot starting at right-back.

Casemiro and Mason Mount started as the central midfielders. The Brazilian international came off injured at half-time and is expected to be out for several weeks. 20-year-old Hannibal Mejbri started in the advanced midfield role.

Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes were rested, with Alejandro Garnacho and Antony lining up in the wide positions with Anthony Martial making his first start since the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in the previous round of the Carabao Cup.

Manchester United’s Tactical Issues Exposed in Back-to-Back Home Defeats

Erik ten Hag made changes for the cup defeat to Newcastle, with the headline decision dropping Rashford, Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund. The attack still looked disjointed, and the heavy 3-0 defeat made it two consecutive games where the Red Devils suffered a loss by the same scoreline after the defeat in the Manchester Derby last weekend.

It may be a comfort to have an away fixture as the side have won their last two Premier League games away from Old Trafford at Sheffield United and Burnley by a single goal. There is a decision to be made in midfield, as Fulham are relatively strong in this area and tend to dominate possession at Craven Cottage.

The manager has chopped and changed his midfield – but may bring Scott McTominay back in after leaving out the Scotland international midweek and the 26-year-old being one of the few to come out of the derby defeat with some credit in the bank after a reasonable performance. Raphael Varane may come back into the defence to add a bit of solidity to a team that has failed to keep a Premier League clean sheet in the last five games.

Manchester United Team News Ahead of Crucial Encounter

Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia continue to be absent for this one, and as mentioned, Casemiro will be out for this one due to injury. Jadon Sancho continues to be absent following his public falling out with the manager.

There was doubt around Victor Lindelof due to illness, but Ten Hag confirmed he is ready to play, along with Varane, who has recently recovered from illness.
