Manchester United dominated Friday’s headlines with Jose Mourinho’s Valencia agreements and then Sir Alex Ferguson’s backing of Louis Van Gaal. Coming back to the football, United take on Everton this weekend, and ahead of the kick-off, we take a look at the predicted Manchester United lineup vs Everton.
Co-incidentally both the managers for this game will be under pressure to deliver results for their teams which could make for a fascinating contest at Old Trafford. International break was kind for United and Everton as they are yet to report any major injury concerns.
Man United are still in the hunt for a top 4 place this season, and they would need to ensure a positive result against Everton to stay on track for Champions League football next season.
Predicted Manchester United lineup vs Everton
Defense:
With Daley Blind shaking off his hamstring injury, he should be fit enough to oversee Manchester United’s defense against Everton this weekend. Matteo Darmian impressed for Italy, and he would hope for a better performance for United in his next game.
Marcos Rojo was caught in a smoking controversy earlier today and his place is in the starting XI is a debatable call, however, given the lack of options for Van Gaal, we may see Rojo start this weekend.
Midfield:
Bastian Schweinsteiger was on course to play this game but for his injury during the Internationals have ruined those plans. Instead, Morgan Schneiderlin will pair with Michael Carrick to guide Manchester United’s midfield vs. Everton.
Attack:
Juan Mata is the big casualty from the starting XI as his good pal Ander Herrera gets ready to take Mata’s place in our Predicted Manchester United lineup vs Everton. Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and the 18-year old Marcus Rashford have been constants in United’s lineup and they are expected to start against Everton as well.
