Manchester United will hope to bounce back from their Europa League opener defeat as they gear up to face Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday night in the same competition.
United’s Premier League game over the weekend against Crystal Palace was called off in the wake of the Queen’s death but the Europa League outing against Sheriff is set to be played as per schedule.
Let us now take a look at how Erik ten Hag might set up his United side for the upcoming game –
4-3-3
The visitors should have David de Gea as the man between the sticks on their travels away from home turf with a minor reshuffle expected in the backline from the defeat to Sociedad last time around.
Well rested after Sunday’s game against Palace was canceled, Lisandro Martinez should partner Harry Maguire in the heart of the backline with Diogo Dalot and Tyler Malacia slotting in the full-back roles.
In Manchester United’s engine room, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes should be joined by Scott McTominay with the latter set to replace Casemiro in the holding midfield position.
Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to operate in the central striking role for Eric ten Hag’s side with the former expected to have Jadon Sancho and new signing Antony for company.
