Who is available, and who could start for the red half of Manchester?
Team News
The Manchester United squad is as healthy as it has been all season. Jonny Evans could return in the Derby, giving Ruben Amorim another option in an inconsistent backline.
Luke Shaw is the only senior United player who will be sidelined for the visit to the Etihad after his recent hamstring injury. The 29-year-old featured just twice this season before this injury setback.
No Reds will be suspended for the clash, with Harry Maguire the only risk of picking up a fifth yellow card during the match.
Rotation has been key at the beginning of Ruben Amorim’s reign. Leny Yoro and Kobbie Mainoo sat for the full 90 in Plzen, opening the door for a Derby start. Alejandro Garnacho, Manuel Ugarte, and Rasmus Hojlund are also candidates to start on Sunday.
Lineup Prediction
Goalkeeper: Andre Onana
Defenders: Leny Yoro, Matthijs De Ligt, Lisandro Martinez
Midfielders: Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo
Attackers: Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund
A win over City would bring the Reds within five points of the title holders. Who will make the difference for Ruben Amorim’s side?
