RUBEN AMORIM'S MANDATE: SELECTION KEY FOR CRYSTAL PALACE REDEMPTION
Ahead of Crystal Palace, Man Utd fans are split on the ideal lineup. With Cunha a doubt, see the heated fan debate over defense, midfield, and key changes.
Manchester United fans are debating the best lineup for this weekend's game against Crystal Palace.
Matheus Cunha might not play after getting hurt in practice last week. It seemed like a minor injury, but it kept him out of Monday’s match against Everton.
When asked about it, coach Amorim told MUTV, He got a knock in training, so I'm not sure how long he’ll be out. I don’t think it’s anything serious.
Cunha might be back for the Palace game at Selhurst Park, which would be great after a tough loss to Everton.
On the Manchester Evening News website, fans have strong opinions about the defence, midfield, and wingers. Some want changes all over the defence. Oligs99 suggests playing Yoro, moving Shaw to left wing back, and benching Dalot.
Others disagree. Thetruthpersonified responds, Yoro was awful in the last game. I’d rather see Mazraoui as the left centre back against Palace. I don’t like playing three at the back. Also, who replaces Bruno in the middle? Bruno needs to play further up the field. The Bruno in midfield experiment isn’t working and needs to stop!
Jungle Jerry says, I’d prefer Mazraoui at left wingback over Dalot or Shaw. I don’t think Shaw can make those forward runs and defend well enough. It’s too bad Amass is on loan, but it’s better for him in the long run.
He’s been great on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, and their coach thinks Amass could easily play in the Premier League. At least we know he’ll come back ready to compete for the starting left wing-back spot for United!
Amil suggests, What about Lammens, De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Martinez, Dorgu/Dalot, Mbeumo, Bruno, and Cunha?
Jungle Jerry replies, "That sounds good, except for Dorgu or Dalot at left wingback." Maybe Mazraoui could fill in temporarily. Martinez and Casemiro in midfield would be strong defensively, but they aren’t playmakers, so the midfield would lack creativity.
IlSacristano suggests, Give Lacey a chance to play in this game. He deserves it.
Jasper JH comments, When Martinez comes back, just like with Rodri, his knee will be fine, but he’ll get muscle injuries as he works his way back to full fitness. I think we’re looking at next season before he’s a regular starter.
RociLal declares Vitek in goal, De Ligt and Guehi at centre back, Amass and Mazroui/Leon as wingbacks, Anderson, Stiller, and Cunha in midfield, and Mbeumo, Sesko, and Amad up front.
Another fan says, Mount has to start—he can drop back to help the midfield, which might be overwhelmed. Hopefully, Cunha is healthy enough to play. If not, give Lacy 15 minutes at the end. He’s a well-rounded, skilful, and talented player who can make a difference. Everyone thought Liverpool would destroy us! We need some luck, but anything can happen in football. Go Red Devils!
MAINOO STAYING: HOW RUBEN AMORIM’S SHOCK EXIT SAVED KOBBIE MAINOO’S MANCHESTER UNITED CAREER
Kobbie Mainoo looks set to stay at Manchester United. Discover how Ruben Amorim's exit and Michael Carrick's arrival changed everything.
Kobbie Mainoo looks set to stick around at Manchester United past the January transfer window, despite all the talk about his future. He’s spent most of the season on the bench, so it’s no surprise people linked him with a move this winter.
Things shifted after Ruben Amorim left as United head coach last week. Suddenly, the rumours about Mainoo leaving Old Trafford quieted down. With Darren Fletcher stepping in as interim boss and names like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick floating around for a caretaker role, the situation feels pretty unsettled. Right now, Carrick seems closest to getting the nod.
There’s been chatter about Mainoo heading out on loan to get more playing time. But now, that doesn’t look so likely. According to transfer insider Gianluca Di Marzio, United probably won’t let Mainoo leave before the deadline, especially now that Amorim’s gone. Napoli had their eye on him, but that move seems off the table for now.
Di Marzio put it pretty bluntly: “I think things will change for Kobbie Mainoo after this. I hope Man Utd makes another mistake as they did with McTominay and Hojlund—players who weren’t getting a chance at United but ended up shining elsewhere. It worked out well for us in Italy, for teams like Napoli. In Italy, we say, ‘There are no two without three.’ So Napoli thought, after McTominay and Hojlund, maybe Mainoo would be next.”
He also said he doesn’t see United selling Mainoo now and expects the club to give him more minutes under a new coach.
Dwight Yorke, a United legend, agrees Mainoo should stay put. He explained why sticking around is the right move: “Would I go on loan if I were Kobbie Mainoo? I never went on loan. When players get sent out, you start to wonder. Even as a young kid, the club never let me go. Maybe that told me how good I was. Usually, if a young player isn’t playing, they go on loan. But they kept me. That says a lot. I just wanted to be the best, and eventually, I managed to do that.”
WHAT DID CRISTIANO RONALDO SAY ABOUT MICHAEL CARRICK THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT?
Michael Carrick is set for a sensational return to Manchester United. Discover why the players blocked Ole's return for Carrick.
Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t hidden how he feels about Michael Carrick. Now, with Carrick looking like the front-runner for the interim Manchester United manager job, it’s pretty clear where Ronaldo stands. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the mix after talking with the club’s top brass, which would’ve been a real twist considering he got the boot back in 2021.
On Monday, United’s chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox kept the talks going, trying to nail down their choice. Carrick’s right at the top of their list. If all goes to plan, he could be running things within the next two days.
The club wants its new manager to get a head start before Sunday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
Carrick already stepped up once after Solskjaer got sacked in November 2021. He pulled off a Champions League win in Villarreal, beat Arsenal at home, and grabbed a draw with Chelsea. So, he’s been here before.
At first, it looked like Solskjaer might swoop in again after interim boss Darren Fletcher, but the senior players weren’t having it. They pushed back hard against Solskjaer coming back.
The Mirror says the players just didn’t believe in Solskjaer anymore and made it clear they’d rather have Carrick lead them through the rest of the season.
Solskjaer’s record at United: three years, 168 games, and a 54% win rate. Still, that wasn’t enough to save his job back then.
Now, as Carrick waits for the official call, Ronaldo’s already given him a glowing review. Back in December 2021, Ronaldo posted on X, calling Carrick “a class act as a player” and saying he could become a great coach. “Nothing is impossible for this guy,” Ronaldo wrote. He also said he was proud to play alongside Carrick and to have him on the bench as manager.
Carrick’s been out of work since Middlesbrough let him go in June, but he’s expected to take his first training session on Wednesday, just in time for the big game against City.
Meanwhile, United’s been struggling, with just one win in their last seven matches. Fletcher has been holding the fort, overseeing a 2-2 draw with Burnley and a 2-1 FA Cup loss to Brighton on Sunday.
