Manchester United will travel to Switzerland to take on Young Boys on Wednesday night following their impressive 2-1 win at Watford last weekend. The Red Devils have finally been able to turn their fortunes around and are going through a good spell on the pitch. Romelu Lukaku’s comeback has been one of the main reasons for their recent success and United fans would hope that their team can continue their winning run in the UEFA Champions League as well.
The Reds of Manchester faces a tricky tie against Young Boys who could prove to be a stern test in midweek. Jose Mourinho is likely to stick with his preferred 4-3-3 formation and might make a few changes for this European encounter. However, the Special One will be without the services of Diogo Dalot, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo who are all out of this clash due to injury.
4-3-3 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Young Boys
Defence
David De Gea will lineup in goal for the Red Devils after his heroics at Vicarage Road on Saturday evening. The youngster Lee Grant could play second-fiddle to the Spaniard on the bench in the absence of Sergio Romero.
The Spanish shot-stopper made a series of outstanding saves to help his team earn a crucial victory against Watford last weekend. He will be protected by the centre-back duo of Victor Lindelof and Chris Smalling, who performed well as a pair versus the Hornets.
Luke Shaw might recover in time for this encounter and take his place as the left-back while Antonio Valencia would look to put on another strong shift on the right side of the United backline.
Midfield
Mourinho could opt to start with Fred in midfield while Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic will resume their duties at the middle of the pitch. The trio would be tasked with winning the midfield battles and establishing United’s dominance away at the Stade de Suisse.
Attack
The Red Devils are expected to line up with a front three of Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku, and Marcus Rashford. Lukaku has been outstanding for the Mancunian outfit over the last two matches as he scored three goals during that time since coming back from his injury.
This match against the Young Boys could serve as a perfect opportunity for Rashford to showcase his talents and get some confidence back in his play by being productive in the final third.
