In an attempt to get back on track, Manchester United takes on Chelsea in the Premier League tonight.
After three difficult away games last week, Manchester United is eager to get back to Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag will be hoping that the entire stadium will support his squad, but the players must give them something to cheer about and a cause for optimism following a stressful week.
He will face Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Manchester United whom he defeated for the position. Considering the enormous criticism Erik ten Hag is facing, there is no information on whether the Chelsea manager feels relieved or devastated.
Who will Erik ten Hag select
The management has some important decisions to make, but first, let’s talk about the latest injury. The club has verified that there are no updates about the availability of Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, or Jonny Evans.
Ten Hag will thus, and rather unhelpfully, have to use the same group of players that faced Newcastle on the weekend. However, some changes are in store.
It’s pretty clear what the objective is: Andre Onana will stay in his position. Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire, who were hailed as the team’s only two excellent performers against Newcastle, are then seen remaining in center defense.
Staying at right back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka can aim to make up for his mistake against Newcastle. Against Raheem Sterling, the opposing winger, he has a solid record.
Sergio Reguilon, who showed promise as a substitute against Newcastle, might be used on the left.
There will be additional midfield changes, but Kobbie Mainoo will still start for the first time in his home debut in the league. He’ll be capable of managing it.
In an attempt to try and give more possession and positional discipline, Sofyan Amrabat will slot in alongside him in place of Scott McTominay.
On a significant evening for the club, Captain Bruno Fernandes will also hold his position and strive to set an exemplary example.
We anticipate two adjustments in the attack. Alejandro Garnacho, the master of the overhead kick, will be the only one of the first three to start.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial will not be starting. They are deserving of it. Rather, Rasmus Hojlund will be the line leader, with Antony, who has made some progress in the last few games, on the right wing.
Players that are willing to fight for Ten Hag are needed. Rasmus Hojlund and Antony will reveal everything. Will that suffice? For now, a conflict is preferable to none at all. Let’s move on.
