Manchester United will entertain Leeds United at Old Trafford this Monday night as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils managed to earn a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Bournemouth before the international break, so they would be keen on returning to winning ways in the league.
Michael Carrick will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first team for this game. Ayden Heaven and Benjamin Sesko could both play from the start of this clash.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Leeds United
Defence
Senne Lammens will feature in between the sticks for the Mancunian giants after conceding two goals in his last outing. Ayden Heaven will operate alongside Harry Maguire at the heart of the Man United backline as they look to keep a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.
Diogo Dalot will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Luke Shaw hopes to impress on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Tyrell Malacia will provide cover for the left-back position on the bench.
Midfield
Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo will anchor the midfield for Man United as they look to make life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.
The gifted trio of Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo will operate just ahead of them as part of Carrick’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Red Devils are to secure a positive result this Monday night.
Manuel Ugarte and Mason Mount will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Benjamin Sesko will spearhead the Mancunian club’s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a real menace on the offensive end of the field.
Joshua Zirkzee will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if Man United are in need of a goal by then.
