Will Carrick Make Any Changes? | 4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup Vs Arsenal | OneFootball

Manchester United will face off against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils managed to earn a solid 2-0 win over Manchester City in the Manchester derby recently, so they would be eager to keep their good form going this weekend.

Michael Carrick will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Bryan Mbeumo could once again get the nod to spearhead Man United’s attack up top.

4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Arsenal

Defence

Senne Lammens will feature in between the sticks for the Mancunian club after he kept a clean sheet in his last outing. Harry Maguire will function alongside Lisandro Martinez at the heart of the Man United backline as they look to keep the opposition at bay during the 90 minutes.

Diogo Dalot will try to prove his value as the right-back, while Luke Shaw looks to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Ayden Heaven and Tyrell Malacia will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Kobbie Mainoo will anchor the midfield along with Casemiro as they focus on winning the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park. Both of them need to dictate the tempo of the game from midfield.

The gifted trio of Patrick Dorgu, Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo will operate just ahead of them as part of the Man United attack. All three of them need to combine well if the Red Devils are to stand a chance of securing a result at the Emirates this weekend.

Manuel Ugarte and Mason Mount will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Bryan Mbeumo will lead the charge for the Mancunian giants in the final third. He has to figure out a way to be a real threat up top.

Benjamin Sesko will make up the numbers on the bench as he awaits his chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if needed.
