    I think we'll see mostly what he tried in training, but adding some of our players who were missing:

    Onana
    Yoro - De Ligt - Martinez
    Antony - Casemiro - Ugarte - Dalot
    Amad - Bruno
    Rashford

    I think we will see many combinations over the next few games so Amorim can find the right balance. It wouldn't be surprising to me if we see Bruno next to Ugarte as part of the 4 in some games, with Rashford, Amad/Mount, and Hojlund ahead of them. In games where we want more midfield control, I can see Bruno and Eriksen potentially being Rashford/Hojlund, and two fullback type wingbacks instead of Antony + a wingback.


    I still have a lot of doubts about Antony and he is never ever worth what we paid for him, but I feel like this setup might suit him well (defensively surprisingly solid, puts in a lot of effort, but numbers are not great going forward). I don't know if he will maintain the width needed, that would be my main concern.

    Expecting a bit of a chaotic game but ultimately I think we'll see goals. 3-1 United

    I've gone for almost the same line-up, but with Hojlund in place of Rashford as the target man.
    I'm not confident of a win, but looking forward to seeing what we can produce.
     
    My line up prediction.
    Onana

    Yoro. De ligt. Shaw

    Maz Ugarte. Casemiro. Antony


    Amad. Bruno


    Rashford

    Feel he will go heavily with the players he has trained with. I understand Shaw and Yoro may be risky but they have the pace required for the rolls.

    Also Rashford as he will be fresh over a Hoijlund who has had an international and not been very consistent so far.

    Antony at WB as the more attacking option which could actually be good as he will be forced outside on his left and as mentioned by others his defensive work is decent.
    Antony on the left , and Yoro and Shaw . About a zero chance of these 3 all starting
     
    I think this is one of the hardest to predict lineups in a longtime. I'd personally love to see Yoro, De ligt and Shaw as our back three but it's hard to guess if he's going throw in two players back from Injury. At the same time though he's only had a certain amount of players to work with properly so we might end up seeing that.
     
    I don’t do the lineup predicter but I think it’s kind of obvious.
    —————————Onana————————————-
    ————Mazda——De Ligt——Martinez (If fit)
    Dalot—————Casa——Urgate————Garna————Amad—————————-Bruno—————————-Rashford————————--——

    I’ll be shocked if it’s anything different!
     
    I really doubt Yoro starts

    Yeah would be very surprised
    I'm confident he does start. Not been away on international duty anywhere, has had all week working with the new manager, fits like a glove into the new formation providing us the pace at the back we lack, and is 3 weeks back in full training. Unless he's had a setback he's fit and ready to start. Whether he plays 90 is another story
     
    Surprised no one has picked Mount to start considering he’s impressed Amorim in training
     
    All the regulars who trained will most likely play and if we get ahead early, might see some changes in personel in second half while keeping the structure. Good time for Amorim to gauge his new squad.
     
    Onana
    Yoro - De Ligt - Martinez
    Mazaroui - Casemiro - Ugarte - Garnacho
    Amad - Bruno
    Rashford
     
    I'm confident.

    One of the league's easier opponents on paper, and they just got their 'turning it around against a top side' win out of the way against Spurs.

    We put together a confidence-boosting run of form under Ruud. Three wins, plus a draw against a resurgent Chelsea. 11 scored vs 3 conceded.

    Hoping for:

    Onana
    DeLigt Evans Martinez
    Mazraoui Casemiro Ugarte Garnacho
    Amad Bruno
    Hojlund
    If Yoro's match-fit he should come on for Evans for half an hour or so.
    I like that line up.

    Yoro is 19 years old, has never played for the club and is returning from injury.
    He might get a few minutes at the end of the match, but I highly doubt he'll start.

    It must also be noted that Yoro is very young (a youth prospect) and defenders typically show good performances from around age 23 onwards. Most will peak at a later age.
    At age 19, he is likely to be a liability and I don't think any new manager will rely on him.

    The new manager NEEDS to get results immediately and can't afford to experiment with teenage prospects.

    Nah I totally disagree. Think your underestimating how good Yoro is and age is pretty much irrelevant. It's the perfect game to bring him in from the start for the beginning of a new era. He is already the best option we have for RCB and has speed that we're lacking in.

    I could be wrong obviously but that's how I see it. He's had long enough in full training and being pulled out of the underage game on Tuesday night suggests to me that the focus is on starting this one.
     
    Mount won a CL in a 343 variation with Tuchel so he knows the positioning and runs he needs to make already. Could be in with Bruno as the two 10's
     
    Looks like Mazroui and Dalot will be starting as wing backs. I saw in his presser / interview he said that it is harder to train an attacker to defend so we will start with defender there.
     
    I thought Martinez was injured?

    I can see :
    Onana
    Yoro - De Ligt - Evans
    Dalot- Casemiro - Mainoo - Mazraoui
    Amad-----------Bruno
    Rashford
    Maybe he will go for Antony, given he has had more training under him. I can see him trying to fit as many of the player's who've trained the most into the team. Evans for Shaw if we're comfortable.
     
    Considering his comments in the Gary Neville interview about using full backs as wing backs first, I'm guessing he'll go with:

    Onana
    De Ligt - Evans - Martinez
    Dalot- Ugarte - Casemiro - Mazraoui
    Amad-----------Bruno
    Rashford

    I'd probably personally stick Mazraoui in the back three for a little bit of recovery pace and play Antony at right wing back as I can't see Yoro being ready to start just yet, but it would be nice if he was ready.
     
    Onana
    Yoro De Ligt Martinez
    Dalot Ugarte Casemiro Mazraoui
    Bruno Mount
    Rashford

    Evans for Yoro (60)
    Amad/Garnacho for Mount (60)
    Mainoo for Ugarte (70)
    Hojlund for Rashford (70)


    While this looks a bit defensive I think this might be how we start the game and then open up as the game goes on with attacking subs as needed.
     
    Lots going with Rashford up top, I don’t mind it as he’s probably more effective there than out wide nowadays but I think it’ll be Rasmus up top.
     
    I really hope he starts Hojilund - he needs a confidence boost: look what a run of games did for him this time last year
     
    Yoro is 19 years old, has never played for the club and is returning from injury.
    He might get a few minutes at the end of the match, but I highly doubt he'll start.

    It must also be noted that Yoro is very young (a youth prospect) and defenders typically show good performances from around age 23 onwards. Most will peak at a later age.

    The new manager NEEDS to get results immediately and can't afford to experiment with teenage prospects.

    We didn’t spend the best part of 50 million quid on Yoro to mess around with him until he’s 23.

    He’ll be playing a lot of football very, very soon. Whether that’s on Sunday is another question altogether, but it won’t be long.
     
    Not sure of the injury status of all players

    I think it will be Bruno and Mount behind hojlund. Garnacho possibly starting as one of the wingers or being subbed on as one of the wingers.

    Rashford brought on for hojlund
    Amad brought on for Mount
    Full back subbed off for garnacho

    Going forward wouldn’t be surprised to see Bruno in the two with ugarte. But that would primarily be ugarte and mainoo

    Zirkzee might not see the pitch again and be sold in January
     
    Can really see him dropping Bruno deeper for some reason and starting Yoro and Malacia but not giving them 90 mins, maybe start making changes around the 55-60 minute mark. Amad and Mount behind Rashford as I think he'll want to work with Hojlund a bit before starting him.

    Onana​

    Yoro De Ligt Martinez​

    Mazraoui Ugarte Bruno Malacia

    Amad Rashford Mount​

    I'll be totally wrong like as with most of my predictions

    Radical! I like your selection but probably a bit unrealistic
     
    Difficult to predict, with players coming back from injury and those at internationals. I think those that have been previously playing and were with him this whole week are a shoe in. He will most likely be cautious but I have a feeling there could be a surprise inclusion or two. It's essentially a free hit, so I'll go with;

    Onana
    Mazraoui MDL Evans
    Dalot Casemiro Ugarte Malacia
    Amad Bruno
    Rashford
    Subs: Mainoo, Yoro, Mount, Rasmus, Shaw
     
    .................... Onana

    . Mazraoui - de Ligt - Martinez

    Amad - Ugarte - Mainoo - Dalot

    .........Mount - Fernandes

    ............. Rashford

    Subs: Casemiro, Shaw, Højlund
     
    I think we will see Mazraoui and Dalot at WB, Malacia will come off the bench. I don’t think we see Garna or Antony played as a wingback. The CB will be de Ligt, Evans and Martinez. The middle 2 will be Casemiro and Ugarte. Mainoo will come off the bench. I think Amad gets the nod next to Bruno with Rashy up top.

    Onana
    de Ligt Evans Martinez
    Mazraoui Casemiro Ugarte Dalot
    Amad Bruno
    Rashford
