Here is our expected starting lineup for Manchester United’s Sunday afternoon matchup against Sean Dyche’s Everton at Goodison.

As a result of their recent victories, Erik ten Hag’s team is currently the best in the league.

Manchester United is now in seventh place after four wins in five games, but with the return of several important players, they will have newfound confidence.

After being injured for months, Luke Shaw has returned, but the news that Mason Mount may also be hurt is not good.

Following their 10-point deduction that puts them tied for last place in the league, United can anticipate a boisterous Goodison this Sunday.

Manchester United predicted XI v Everton

Ten Hag is likely to take a very firm stance in this one given how motivated the Goodison crowd will be.

Andre Onana should therefore start in goal despite injury worries that surfaced after the international break. He was cleared to play, which should allow him to start ahead of Altay Bayindir.

Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will square off at right-back, but we believe the former Palace player has the advantage in this matchup. His defensive prowess may come in helpful because Everton is expected to start quickly.

Luke Shaw starts at left back since Ten Hag seemed very certain of his availability. He should be playing from the first minute on if he is healthy enough to start.

Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane should start in center defense because, as Ten Hag mentioned, they can play together in some games, and this one is one of those games because Jonny Evans and Lisandro Martinez are out with injuries.

In recent weeks, United’s midfield choices have become far more limited. Mason Mount, Casemiro, and Christian Eriksen are all out right now.

Thus, our selection to take on an Everton team without Amadou Onana is a midfield tandem of Scott McTominay and Kobbie Mainoo making his league debut.

Ten Hag places Antony, who scored twice against Everton last season, most likely on the right.

Alejandro Garnacho should therefore start on the left side; he frequently performs admirably and just needs more playing time to polish his final product and decision-making.

Bruno Fernandes, as one might anticipate, starts at position ten. The captain of United will be looking to build on the recent progress.

Marcus Rashford should start up front, and Rasmus Hojlund shouldn’t be thrust back into action too soon.
