In defence, we anticipate a solitary change with Matthijs de Ligt likely to make way for Leny Yoro. Amorim spoke fondly about the need for Harry Maguire in his pre-match presser, and we believe the former captain will accompany Yoro and Lisandro Martinez in the back three.
Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot should be nailed-on starters in the wing-back positions, but there could be a positional change. Mazraoui could move to the left to try and nullify Mohamed Salah’s attacking presence.
In midfield, it appears a straightforward decision. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen should be dropped to the bench. The duo are no longer in their prime and were outclassed by Newcastle United on Monday night.
Manuel Ugarte should be reinstated into the XI after suspension. Kobbie Mainoo was impressive after replacing Joshua Zirkzee in the 33rd minute against the Magpies. He should accompany Ugarte in the centre of the park.
Bruno Fernandes is expected to return in the left attacking midfield role after suspension. Joshua Zirkzee should make way after a woeful showing earlier this week. The captain could be partnered by Amad Diallo once more.
Rasmus Hojlund is poised to lead the attack for the Red Devils. The Dane has been highly inconsistent as the main striker, but he can prove a point with a strong showing against one of the in-form teams in Europe.
