First defeat for Ruben Amorim as Manchester United manager as his side faced a 2-0 loss at the hands of Arsenal. Though the former side has shown signs of improvement, they are still far away from being a winning side.
The Red Devils will next lock horns with Nottingham Forest at home on Saturday. They will be desperate to get back into winning ways and secure all three points. It will be a test of their character and also for the Portuguese manager.
Defence
Andre Onana made some notable saves and couldn’t have done much about those two goals. He will be seen donning the gloves once again. Fans can expect to see some changes in the lineup this week with multiple players available again.
While Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt should continue to be a part of the three-man backline, Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro are both in contention to fill up the final spot.

Midfield
Tyrell Malacia did get important minutes in the previous game but he should make way for Amad Diallo. The latter will operate on the left wing with Diogo Dalot deployed on the right flank.
Manuel Ugarte continues to provide his services in the middle of the park. As Kobbie Mainoo returns from suspended, the youngster should join the former man too.
Bruno Fernandes will take his usual attacking midfielder role as he is a valuable creator in the side. Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho are the other two forming the attacking lineup. It means Rasmus Hojlund will be used in the latter stages of the game.
Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof are all unavailable for the selection as they are sidelined due to injuries.
