Manchester United gear up for the high-billed derby clash on home soil against Manchester City this Saturday in the Premier League with Erik ten Hag’s side looking to clinch what would be a memorable win over their arch rivals.
The Red Devils edged out Charlton Athletic last time out in the Carabao Cup contest at Old Trafford with the in-form Marcus Rashford netting a brace.
Let us now take a look at how Erik ten Hag might set up his United side for the upcoming game –
4-3-3
Manchester United’s man between the goalposts is certain to be David de Gea with the Spaniard set to return to the XI and take over the gloves from the No.2 Tom Heaton.
In the defensive lineup, Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw could be seen making their way back into the XI with Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia set top drop out.
Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are expected to earn recalls to the starting team sheet with Scott McTominay and Fred deputising for them in the win over Charlton.
Rashford would be the man leading the line for the home side with Antony and Anthony Martial the wide options to provide company in the final third of the pitch.
