Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United will host Brighton at Old Trafford in the Premier League at the weekend after winning their first home of the year against Southampton on Thursday.
The team received criticism despite winning the game against Southampton, it’s not what the fans expected after the two bright performances against Liverpool and Arsenal.
Amad Diallo bailed Manchester United out in a dramatic 3-1 win at Old Trafford on Thursday. The Ivorian talent scored a 12-minute hat-trick to secure the three points. Manchester United fans will be expecting to see more efforts from the squad against Brighton on Sunday.
However, Ruben Amorim is expected to make some changes to his line-up on Sunday, with Harry Maguire likely to return to the starting XI.
Ruben Amorim to make some changes on Sunday
In goal, Andre Onana is expected to start after an amazing performance against Southampton on Thursday including the unbelievable double save in the first half.
Lisandro Martinez and De Ligt are expected to start, but Leny Yoro is likely to be replaced by Harry Maguire who starts the game against Southampton from the bench.
Harry Maguire has been fantastic under Ruben Amorim since he returned from his injury and is regarded as the heart of Manchester United’s defense.
In the wing-back position, Diogo Dalot is expected to take his place back in the starting line-up, with Noussair Mazraoui on the right-hand side.
In midfield, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo are expected to keep their place as they didn’t play 90 minutes against Southampton on Thursday.
In attack, Amad Diallo is expected to return to his favorite position on the right hand side after the Ivorian forward started as a wing-back against Southampton and scored a hat-trick. He has been fantastic under Ruben Amorim and is seen as the club’s current best player.
Bruno Fernandes will once again start on the left-hand side. Manchester United’s fans will love to see Joshua Zirkzee start ahead of Hojlund on Sunday after two fantastic performances from the bench.
Zirkzee came off the bench against Arsenal and Southampton and turned the game around for Manchester United, his hold-up play and chance creation has been good.
