4-2-3-1: Man Utd starting lineup against POAK – Predicted XI

Today at 08:00 AM

Manchester United are set to take on POAK in the UEFA Europa League in what is an important game for Ruud van Nistelrooy & co.

The Red Devils have suffered a horrendous start to their European campaign and are winless from three games.

Thus, in all likelihood, the interim manager is likely to name a strong starting XI on the night. In this new format of the Europa League, not getting a top-eight place would mean having to go through a difficult play-off round and Man Utd have to win against POAK to avoid that.

Ruud van Nistelrooy will have a strong squad to call up for the important game. With all this in mind, here is how we think the manager could set Man Utd up against POAK in the Europa League clash later today.

Andre Onana should start in goal in this important game, protected by a backline of Diogo Dalot from the right, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez through the middle and Noussair Mazraoui from the left side of the defence.

In midfield, Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro should continue as the holding midfield partnership with captain Bruno Fernandes expected to start ahead in the #10 role. The trio will have to do well if Man Utd are to have a good game.

Marcus Rashford should retain his role from the left with Amad Diallo expected to come in for the disappointing Alejandro Garnacho on the right. Through the middle, Rasmus Hojlund should retain his place as the number nine.

This is quite a strong XI that Ruud can field and let’s wait and see how things play out for Man Utd in what could turn out to be an important night.
