Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United will look to secure their first win under the new manager as they return to European action against Norwegian outfit Bodo Glimt on Thursday evening in an 8PM kick off at Old Trafford. The Portuguese coach oversaw his first match on Sunday afternoon, a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Here is the Manchester United predicted lineup for the clash.

How Manchester United Have Lined-up Recently

After mostly lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation under previous manager Erik ten Hag and interim Ruud van Nistelrooy, Amorim has switched systems, with the team now lining up in a 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 shape. André Onana is the undisputed number 1 in goal, with a 3-man defence of Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Jonny Evans taking to the field against Ipswich.

Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot operated as wing-backs, with a midfield of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro supporting an attacking triumvirate of Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.

Manchester United Recent Form and Tactics

After a disastrous start to the season that saw Dutchman Ten Hag lose his job a month ago, interim manager van Nistelrooy managed to steady the Red Devil’s ship, with Sunday’s draw meaning that United are now five games unbeaten in all competitions.

A new tactical approach, a 3-4-3 formation with wing-backs, at times looked foreign to the team at Portman Road, particularly in midfield with Eriksen and Casemiro struggling with their positioning off the ball and at times being overrun. As he gets used to the squad and its strengths and limitations, expect the former Sporting Lisbon coach to make midfield an area of priority when it comes to recruitment.

Manchester United Injuries to Consider

The treatment room at Old Trafford is emptying, with defender Lisandro Martinez now passed fit after a minor injury. Harry Maguire (Calf) is back in training and should be available for selection within the next week, whilst Victor Lindelof (Groin) and Lény Yoro (Match fitness) remain unavailable.
