Midfield

Bruno Fernandes will anchor the midfield along with Kobbie Mainoo as they look to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.

Diogo Dalot will try to prove his worth as the right-sided wide player, while Patrick Dorgu looks to give a good account of himself on the left flank.

Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha will operate as the attacking midfielders. Their main focus would be to create some clear-cut chances on the offensive end of the field.

Manuel Ugarte will have to settle for a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed. However, Casemiro will be sidelined for this game due to suspension.

Attack

Benjamin Sesko will lead the charge for the Mancunian club in the final third. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.

Joshua Zirkzee will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if the Red Devils are in need of a goal by then. However, Bryan Mbeumo will miss this game because of injury.
