With Manchester United languishing in 15th place with 39 points after 35 games, the clash against West Ham in the Premier League has little competitive value. With no chance of qualifying for European competition through the league, all focus is on the Europa League final. The Premier League, at this point, only serves as a dress rehearsal.
Several first-team players will be rested. Lisandro Martinez, De Ligt, Heaven, Collyer and Zirkzee are all ruled out through injury. Dalot could return to the bench, but is unlikely to get minutes. Ruben Amorim’s starting eleven should be experimental and young.
3-4-2-1 Manchester United Predicted Starting Lineup Against West Ham United:
Defence:
The backline will feature three centre-backs, an usual format that has been present in United’s recent games. Bayindir will remain in goal. The back three will consist of Fredricson, Lindelöf and Luke Shaw. Lindelöf brings experience, Shaw will play a little more freely out wide and Fredricson, a home-grown player, will have his most serious test yet. With no pressure on the table, this is the perfect chance to see him compete.
The defensive unit needs order, something that has not been in short supply this season.
Midfield:
In the middle, Amorim will go for a mix of youth and balance. Mainoo will keep his place as a defensive midfielder. Next to him, Ugarte will be the anchor. The two form a pair capable of cutting and distributing in an orderly fashion.
On the flanks, Dorgu will occupy the right flank while Amass will play on the left. Dorgu can cover a lot of ground, Amass is aggressive in one-on-one situations. If they can connect with the inside players, the team can sustain long possessions and avoid physical wear and tear.
Attack:
In attack, Garnacho and Mount will be the playmakers behind Obi. Garnacho will start on the left. Mount will play more loosely, moving to create space. Up front, Obi will be a youngster with a powerful physique and good decisions in the penalty box. This will be his chance to show himself. If he receives balls with an advantage, he can make a difference. With little media spotlight and no pressure, the offensive line will be able to play without fear.
