Confirmed XI vs Chelsea: Maguire starts, Yoro dropped | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has made changes at the back for Manchester United’s all-important Premier League clash against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Harry Maguire returns, in place of Leny Yoro, who had a game to forget in the Manchester derby.

Luke Shaw, who also had a nightmare, keeps his place.

Surprisingly, despite dodgy displays in goal in all previous league games, Altay Bayindir keeps his place with Senne Lammens still waiting for his first start.

Bayindir starts

In midfield, Bruno Fernandes continues to remain a part of a midfield pivot, despite criticism, but this time, Casemiro plays alongside him with Manuel Ugarte back on the bench.

Despite an impressive cameo against Manchester City, Kobbie Mainoo continues to be a benchwarmer.

In attack, Benjamin Sesko starts again, while Amad also plays as an attacking midfielder alongside Bryan Mbeumo.

Patrick Dorgu retains his place as the left wingback, as does Noussair Mazraoui on the right.

No Cunha

Despite regaining fitness, both Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount have to be content with a place on the bench.

Amorim has a strong bench to choose from should the Red Devils need to bring on more firepower, with Joshua Zirkzee also there.

XI: Bayindir, Shaw, De Ligt, Maguire, Dorgu, Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Mbeumo, Sesko, Amad.

Subs: Lammens, Fredricson, Heaven, Yoro, Mainoo, Mount, Ugarte, Cunha, Zirkzee.
