Confirmed Man United XI vs Everton: Matheus Cunha absent, Joshua Zirkzee starts | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has had to shuffle his Manchester United side for tonight’s Premier League match with Everton at Old Trafford.

Having already lost Benjamin Sesko due to injury, the head coach has suffered another blow, with Matheus Cunha also missing from tonight’s squad.

Defence

Senne Lammens is in goal.

The back three are Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw.

Harry Maguire has not recovered from injury in time to make the squad. Lisandro Martinez makes a welcome return to the bench.

The wing-backs are Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu.

Midfield and attack

Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro continue in the engine room.

The front three are Bryan Mbeumo, Zirkzee and Amad.

Sesko is out for a “few weeks” while Cunha should be back in time for United’s next game, which is at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Substitutes

On the bench along with Martinez are Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot, Tyrell Malacia, Ayden Heaven, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Mason Mount and the academy starlet, Shea Lacey.

It is Lacey’s first appearance in the first-team matchday squad and he will be hoping to make his debut against the Toffees.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 8pm.

A win for United will propel them into fifth place and a winning margin of four will see them reach fourth on goal difference ahead of Aston Villa.
