Carabao Cup game aside, let‘s see your predictions for his first League game in charge on Sunday v Chelsea.

Yoro, Malacia, Shaw, Mount & Antony all out & unavailable. As well as Mainoo.

Mainoo?
 
Rashford - Hojlund - Garnacho

Bruno

Ugarte - Casemiro/Mainoo

Whoever the heck is fit in the back line.

But watch Rashford suddenly become another player. I bet he has a resurgence under Ruud.
 
I imagine it’ll be pretty much exactly the same. Maybe play Martinez at LB.

Onana
Dalot-DeLigt-Lindelof-Martinez
Ugarte- Erik
Bruno
Rashord-Zirk-Garnacho
​
Then just the usual rotation of players for a midweek game.
​
 
Think he’ll stick ugarte in. If he goes for a 4-4-2 we could see Zirkzee link up with Hojlund aswell

Not really too many options with the injuries.

Would like to see him try and go for a old United style 4-4-2. Pushed up high, fullbacks overlapping.
 
Rashford - Hojlund - Garnacho

Mazraoui - Martinez - De Ligt - Dalot

Or
Rashford - Hojlund
Bruno - Ugarte - Eriksen - Garnacho
Mazraoui - Martinez - De Ligt - Dalot

Hojlund
Rashford - Bruno - Eriksen - Garnacho
Ugarte
Mazraoui - Martinez - De Ligt - Dalot

Who knows there are plenty of options, what's great is that we're not guaranteed to line up the same way we have for the last 18 months, and thats actually quite exciting.
