Manchester United will lock horns with Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon hoping to pick up a win away from home. The Red Devils will be coming into the match on the back of an impressive 3-1 win over Burnley, whereas Marcelo Bielsa’s men recorded a 1-1 draw versus Liverpool last week.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will probably opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation; however, he is expected to keep changes to a minimum for the upcoming clash.
4-2-3-1 Predicted Manchester United Line-up To Face Leeds United
Defence
Dean Henderson is expected to start in goal for the upcoming away encounter. The English shot-stopper would be looking to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Sunday.
Victor Lindelof will form the centre-half partnership with skipper Harry Maguire at the heart of United’s backline.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a guaranteed starter at the right-back position, whereas Luke Shaw will start on the other flank as the left-back. The English duo would be expected to stay compact and keep their shape defensively.
Midfield
Fred is expected to start in the central midfield position, whereas Scott McTominay will slot in as the defensive midfielder.
Bruno Fernandes remains a sure-fire starter for United this week, and it’ll be an understatement to say The Red Devils will be highly dependent on the Portugal international’s creative work if they wish to pick up a positive result at Elland Road.
Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba will take up the wide positions, playing on the right and left-wing respectively.
Donny van de Beek will have to settle for a place on the bench but might be called upon in the latter stages of the game if needed.
Attack
Mason Greenwood is expected to lead the line for the visitors against Leeds United this weekend. The Englishman’s adept movement in front of the goal could be utilised as an asset against Bielsa’s side. Moreover, with two goals to his name in the last game, he’ll fancy his chances of getting his name on the scoresheet yet again.
Edinson Cavani might come on to make a cameo appearance in the second forty-five minutes if required.
