Manchester United kicks off their UEFA Europa League campaign on Wednesday, hosting Dutch side Twente Enschede at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag’s men aim to start strong, and selecting the right lineup will be crucial, according to Manchester Evening News.
In goal, Andre Onana is the clear choice, boasting three consecutive clean sheets in his last three matches. His impressive form makes him a reliable option between the posts.
The back four is expected to feature Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs De Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, and Diogo Dalot. This new defensive setup, including recent signing De Ligt, promises stability and solidity.
In midfield, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte will form a dynamic duo, providing defensive cover and distributing the ball effectively.
Ugarte’s opportunity to start will allow him to showcase his skills. Bruno Fernandes’ creative influence will support the attacking trio, pulling the strings from behind.
Upfront, Marcus Rashford’s regained confidence earns him a starting spot on the left wing. Joshua Zirkzee leads the line as the striker, while Amad Diallo handles the right-wing duties. This attacking setup offers pace, skill, and goal-scoring potential.
With this lineup, Manchester United can secure an important victory in their Europa League opener.
The team’s defensive solidity, midfield control, and attacking flair make them formidable opponents. Full Details
