The cool demeanor once presented by Ruben Amorim is starting to fade in Manchester, with the tight-fisted Portuguese boss already showing signs of wear amid the size of the job at his disposal.
The branding of his team as “probably the worst” in Manchester United’s history shows that frustration and pressure are mounting, and yet Amorim sought clarification Ahead of the Rangers visit, such slip-ups will be attacked.
After falling into it 3-1 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion On Sunday, the Red Devils aim to bounce back with a victory over the Gers that will put them in a very strong position in the league stage table heading into the final matchday. United currently sit in the top-eight, but Rangers are right on their tail.
Here’s how combined Could line up at Old Trafford.
GK: Andre Onana – After making another mistake that led to a goal at the weekend, Amorim could have taken the easy option and turned to Altay Bayandir following his FA Cup heroics. But this is an important game and Onana should have the support of his boss.
CB: Lenny Yoro – Yoro should return to his preferred side with Amorim set to make one change to his defense from Sunday.
CB: Harry Maguire – With Jonny Evans sidelined and Victor Lindelof not yet ready to return, Maguire needs to sit pretty in the heart of the back three.
CB: Lisandro Martinez – Was an unused substitute against Argentina BrightonBut his return to the fold allows Yoro to move to his natural right side.
RWB: Diogo Dalot – Dalot has played a lot of football this season – too much in the eyes of many supporters. In Amorim’s eyes it looks messy, so there’s likely to be another start here.
Chief Minister: Manuel Ugarte – Another of the manager’s trusted lieutenants, Ugarte will duel with Rangers’ pesky ball-winner Nico Raskin at Old Trafford.
Chief Minister: Christian Eriksen – There should be some rotation in the middle of the park after Brighton’s success at the weekend. Koby may drop out in favor of Mainu Eriksen, who has provided many big moments in the league stage so far.
LWB: Tyrell Malacia – The Dutch full-back has featured sporadically since returning from a long-term knee injury. With Noussair Mazraoui earning a breather, Malacia could make a rare start.
AM: Amad Diallo – Amad was saving United’s bacon against the worst team Premier League Exactly a week before Thursday’s kick-off, but there was no heroics from the sprightly Ivorian at the weekend. He has been the star of the Amorim era up to this point.
AM: Bruno Fernandes – Fernandes isn’t too bad either, and much of his best work, like United under the Portuguese coach, is saved for the biggest occasions. He is yet to score in the league stage, but he netted from the penalty spot on Sunday.
ST: Rasmus Hojlund – After dropping to the bench at the weekend, Hojlund is expected to lead the line for United given their impressive record in the Europa League. Far and away is theirs by the young Dane Top scorer Got five out of six.
