Manchester United vs Fulham live team news, Premier League updates and how to watch information
Here’s how our writers assume United ought to begin.
Samuel Luckhurst
Before the Hojlind announcement, I chosen McTominay at right-back. Now he is up entrance. Marcus Rashford has proven time and once more he’s not a centre ahead (that was the one deceptive side about his first two appearances in 2016), McTominay is the second-highest scorer this season and has expertise of taking part in up prime. Playing him there would additionally imply not taking part in Antony.
As for the defence, the prospect of Victor Lindelof in opposition to Willian one week and Phil Foden the subsequent is probably going to fill United followers with dread. Ten Hag wants to be artistic there and, pretty much as good as Diogo Dalot has been at right-back, it might be logical to swap him to the left and accommodate the sturdy Willy Kambwala, who has cameoed at full-back.

There are loads of makeshift choices, however none are that convincing. At least one participant should play out of place in defence and it would as properly be Sofyan Amrabat, on condition that he has not less than performed there earlier than.
The midfield is settled and should not be messed with, even when Bruno Fernandes might play in assault. It is the kind of sport that might additionally go well with Christian Eriksen, however a bench position appears the most definitely.
McTominay is actually essentially the most comparable various to Hojlund via the center, however Rashford will fancy his probabilities in opposition to a poor Fulham aspect and will certainly be required via the center sooner or later within the coming weeks.

United are again to the place they had been in September and October when Lindelof and Amrabat had been used as makeshift choices at left-back following accidents to Shaw and Malacia.
Some have speculated that 16-year-old Harry Amass may very well be introduced into the squad however he is but to make an look for the Under-21s and doesn’t seem bodily prepared for senior soccer.
Hojlund’s damage has thrown a spanner within the works and though McTominay is a tempting possibility, Amad has expertise within the position and will get the nod for me.
