Confirmed Man United XI vs Fulham: Cunha replaces Dorgu | OneFootball

Michael Carrick has made one change to his Manchester United side for today’s home Premier League match against Fulham.

With Patrick Dorgu sidelined for around 10 weeks due to a hamstring injury, the interim manager was forced into changing his starting XI for the first time and has brought in Matheus Cunha to replace the injured Dane. However, he has kept the changes to a minimum, with the remaining 10 positions still being occupied by the same players that triumphed against Arsenal last weekend.

Defence

Senne Lammens is in goal.

The back four once again comprises Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw.

Matthijs de Ligt is still injured.

Midfield and attack

Once again, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro are the holding pair, with Bruno Fernandes ahead of them in the number 10 role.

Bryan Mbeumo will play in the centre-forward role again, with Amad on the right and Cunha on the left.

Substitutes

Joshua Zirkzee is back in the squad after recovering from a minor injury. He is joined on the bench by Altay Bayindir, Nouss Mazraoui, Ayden Heaven, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Manuel Ugarte, Shea Lacey and Ben Sesko.

Mason Mount is not included in the squad, it is unknown at this time whether this is due to injury.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 2pm. A win will see United leapfrog Chelsea and Liverpool back into fourth place.
