Manchester United are ready for the big clash against Liverpool and this is Erik Ten Hag’s team. Andre Onana is in goal, while Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof make up the central defensive partnership. With Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka starting as the two full-backs, it will be interesting to see which one will play on which of the two flanks. Kobbie Mainoo is in central midfield alongside Scott McTominay, while Bruno Fernandes is the captain and he starts in front of them, as the attacking midfielder. To either side of him will be Alejandro Garnacho, on the right, and Marcus Rashford ..read more

Manchester United are ready for another Premier League match in which the need for three points is great and here is the team for the task at hand. Andre Onana is in goal, while Raphael Varane will this time pair up with Jonny Evans in central defence. This is because Victor Lindelof moves to left-back due to lack of options in the position, with Diogo Dalot starting the right. It seems that United could play with three central midfielders this time around, as all of Casemiro, Scott McTominay and Kobbie Mainoo get the nod. Bruno Fernandes will definitely be in front of them as the team’s capt ..read more

The Manchester Derby is coming up soon and here is an unusual team Manchester United are set to play with. Erik Ten Hag chose a side without a real striker and with three central midfielders, so it will be interesting to see how they will line up. Andre Onana is in goal, Victor Lindelof is presumably the makeshift left-back, with Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane expected to be the centre-back partnership. Diogo Dalot is on the right. In front of them are Kobbie Maino, Casemiro and Scott McTominay, but the front three players are Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. It is exp ..read more

Erik Ten Hag’s side is not going to play as many matches as other big English teams, mostly because they are not playing in any European competitions this spring, so the focus will be on the Premier League and the FA Cup. Here is what awaits the team in the coming month.

Manchester United are through to the FA Cup quarterfinals with a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground and here is what we learned from a narrow win for Erik Ten Hag’s team.
Casemiro Wins It Late
The Red Devils struggled with scoring goals in another, second match without Rasmus Hojlund, but they did somehow manage to get there. A great performance from Bruno Fernandes, who led the team as the captain should, ended up almost with a goal, after his lovely cross from a free-kick was met by Casemiro. The Brazilian midfielder slightly nudged the ball with a h ..read more

Manchester United are back in FA Cup action and again away from home. Against Nottingham Forest, Andre Onana starts in goal as usual, with Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof leading the back four.

Casemiro is this time paired up with Scott McTominay, while Antony gets the nod at right wing. Alejandro Garnacho is on the left, Bruno Fernandes captains the team in between the two, while Marcus Rashford once again replaces Rasmus Hojlund up ..read more
