Our predicted Manchester United starting 11 for Saturday’s festive fixture against West Ham United.
The Red Devils will be making the trip down South to take on the in-form, ninth-placed Irons, with just one point separating the sides heading into the contest.
Erik ten Hag has been granted fitness boosts in the form of Christian Eriksen returning after his five-week layoff, as well as Amad Diallo, who is yet to feature for the club this term following a knee injury he sustained on the pre-season tour.
Bruno Fernandes is also available for selection again after his one-match suspension saw him miss the Anfield stalemate, although Diogo Dalot’s sending-off in the closing stages of the draw has ruled him out of tomorrow’s afternoon kick-off.
Predicted starting XI
Onana;
Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Evans, Shaw
Credit where it’s due to the whole backline, but Raphael Varane in particular was colossal against Liverpool.
Mainoo, McTominay
Kobbie Mainoo was perhaps United’s standout player on Merseyside last Sunday and continues to receive plaudits with every outing he makes.
Garnacho, Fernandes (C), Rashford
A bout of norovirus – as well as some lacklustre performances – has seen Marcus Rashford’s game-time limited as of late, but now he’s back fit, Ten Hag will likely grant him a start.
Hojlund
Still seeking that elusive debut goal in the Premier League and he’ll be hoping his unwanted streak isn’t extended to 14 games when the full-time whistle blows tomorrow.
