Shea Lacey And Youri Tielemans To Start; Carlos Baleba Out: Man Utd Predicted Lineup Vs Aston Villa
Shea Lacey And Youri Tielemans To Start; Carlos Baleba Out: Man Utd Predicted Lineup Vs Aston Villa

Man Utd head coach Michael Carrick will be looking for his players to carry on from where they left off against Roma when they face Aston Villa this weekend.

The Red Devils have only won three games so far this season, but all of them have come at Old Trafford, so Carrick’s men could potentially add a fourth before the international break.

Of course, Villa will not be pushovers. Unai Emery’s side have recovered from a poor start to the season, and they have only lost 1 of their 4 away games in the Premier League so far.

Press the next page as we share our Man Utd predicted lineup to play the Villans on Sunday evening…

Goalkeeper and Defence

Ayden Heaven and Michael Carrick

GK – Senne Lammens – will the Belgian get his first clean sheet in the Premier League this season? Based on recent evidence, it seems unlikely.

RB – Leny Yoro – Carrick is persisting with deploying the 20-year-old on the right-hand side of defence.

CB – Matthijs de Ligt – Harry Maguire is a fitness doubt, so the Dutchman could start his second game this season.

CB – Ayden Heaven – Lisandro Martinez is suspended, so there are few other options available.

LB – Diogo Dalot – Luke Shaw is not expected to return to fitness until after the international break, which means Dalot will continue to provide cover at left-back.

Midfield

Kobbie Mainoo

CM – Kobbie Mainoo – the midfielder will be tasked with trying to dictate play in the middle of the park for United.

CM – Youri Tielemans – after impressing from the bench versus Roma, Carrick may decide to start the Belgian against his former club.

There will be misgivings about pairing Tielemans with Mainoo again as they don’t cover a lot of ground, but with Carlos Baleba ruled out due to injury, the only alternative is Andrey Santos, who hasn’t exactly pulled up any trees in a United shirt either.

AM – Bruno Fernandes – the captain is not one for keeping his feelings to himself, but fans wish he would. He needs to offer more leadership.

Forwards

Matheus Cunha

RW – Shea Lacey – after his very impressive cameo midweek against Roma, he should be picked ahead of Amad.

ST – Bryan Mbeumo – the forward may be the club’s top scorer in the Premier League, but his confidence is pretty low, so he could do with a goal.

LW – Matheus Cunha – supporters will be desperate to see the Brazilian play with the same energy and passion he did in the second half against Roma.
