Manchester United will welcome Twente at Old Trafford on Wednesday night as they hope to secure a positive result at home in the UEFA Europa League. The Red Devils were held to a scoreless draw by Crystal Palace, so they would be desperate to get back to winning ways in midweek.
Erik ten Hag will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and could make some changes to his first team for this game. Manuel Ugarte, Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford will all play from the start of this clash at the Theatre of Dreams.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Twente
Defence
Andre Onana will feature in between the sticks for the Mancunian club after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. Harry Maguire will probably get the nod to operate alongside Lisandro Martinez at the centre of ten Hag’s defence as they hope to keep the opposition at bay during the 90 minutes.
Noussair Mazraoui will try to prove his worth as the right-back while Diogo Dalot hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to get forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Matthijs de Ligt will provide cover for the centre-back positions on the bench.
Midfield
Manuel Ugarte will anchor the midfield along with Kobbie Mainoo as they try to dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park. The talented trio of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho will play just ahead of them as part of the Man United attack. All three of them need to combine well so that they can engineer enough chances to win this European contest at Old Trafford.
Casemiro and Amad Diallo will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second half if required.
Attack
Joshua Zirkzee will lead the charge for the Mancunian giants in the final third. He has to figure out a way to cause some headaches for the Twente centre-backs this Wednesday night.
Rasmus Hojlund will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the latter stages if needed.
