Yesterday's game against Bodo/Glimt was a huge success for Manchester United as Rasmus Hojlund scored twice to secure a win. Today, United is looking to continue their winning streak as they face off against Everton at Old Trafford, with Ruben Amorim hoping to secure his first Premier League win as the team's new manager.
After starting off with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town last week, Amorim finally got his first victory with a thrilling 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. Although there were some concerns about the team's defense as Amorim is still adjusting his system, there were plenty of positives to take away, especially from the impressive performance of Rasmus Hojlund.
It's safe to say that Hojlund has cemented his spot as the focal point of Amorim's attack, with his two well-taken goals and relentless work rate that led to the first goal of the game in just the first minute. The team's injury woes are also starting to ease up, with Mason Mount making his first league start since August and making a strong case for a starting role this weekend.
Amorim has been open about his admiration for Mount, and his decision to substitute him off early in the last game may indicate that he plans on keeping him in the starting lineup today. Additionally, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia have returned from injury, while Luke Shaw continues to gain valuable playing time.
On the other hand, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof are still sidelined, and there's no update on Leny Yoro's status under the new manager. Yoro has been involved in training sessions, but the team is being cautious with their summer signing's return.
Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo, who both came off the bench and combined for a goal in the last game, will be hoping to retain their spots in the starting lineup. Here's the predicted lineup for United today: Onnana, Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Amad, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dalot, Mount, Rashford, and Hojlund.
Many fans are eager to see how United will line up this weekend, with Amorim's tactical decisions and player selections being closely watched. The game against Everton kicks off at 1:30pm today and unfortunately will not be broadcasted live in the UK. However, you can follow all the action on Metro's LIVE matchday blog.
