Manchester United find themselves on home soil for the second weekend in a row when they take on Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Matchday 25 of the Premier League, hoping to secure a fourth straight win and continue their rise in the standings.
Last weekend they won a five-goal thriller against Fulham and while there is room for improvement, it was a well-deserved success for the Red Devils, who now face another tough test. Here’s how they could line up for the match.
Goalkeeper – Senne Lammens is expected to remain in goal for the hosts.
Defenders – Diogo Dalot could again be preferred to Noussair Mazraoui at right-back, while Luke Shaw also wants to keep his place at left-back. Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez could partner each other at the heart of the back four, rounding out an unchanged backline from last weekend’s win over Fulham.
Sesko would take the lead
Midfielders – Kobbie Mainoo has finally found a decent run of minutes under Michael Carrick and is expected to build on that against Tottenham Hotspur with a place in the starting XI in a deeper midfield role. Casemiro could work with him after his goal and assist against Fulham last time.
Bruno Fernandes could potentially play as an attacking midfielder for Manchester United, while Bryan Mbeumo, who was the striker in the previous match, could replace Amad Diallo on the right wing. Matheus Cunha, meanwhile, will continue on the left flank.
Come on – £74m summer signing Benjamin Sesko grabbed a stoppage time winner against Fulham and his contribution could be rewarded with a place in Man United’s line-up as the only striker.
This is what the Red Devils can look like on paper.
