Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has named his starting line-up for the Premier League clash against Manchester City today.
The Red Devils are already eight points behind league leaders Arsenal and today’s Manchester derby appears a must-win to stay in the title race.
Ahead of the game, Carrick has made three changes from the 4-0 win over Sabah in the Champions League on Thursday night.
Senne Lammens continues in goal as usual for the Red Devils.
There are two changes in defence with Noussair Mazraoui and Leny Yoro making way. Diogo Dalot and Harry Maguire replace the pair.
Dalot will start at right-back with Patrick Dorgu on the opposite end. Maguire partners Lisandro Martinez in the heart of the defence.
The midfield stays the same. Youri Tielemans and Kobbie Mainoo operate centrally, while Bruno Fernandes features as the attacking midfielder.
In the final third, Benjamin Sesko makes way for Marcus Rashford. Matheus Cunha will therefore lead the line for the Mancunian giants.
Rashford will feature as the left winger with Bryan Mbeumo on the right.
Confirmed Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Man City; Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Dorgu; Tielemans, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford; Cunha.
