Manchester United have only two, true out-and-out strikers on their roster. One of them, Benjamin Sesko, has been out injured for awhile, and we just learned a couple days ago that he's going to be sidelined even longer. The other, Joshua Zirkzee, isn't really Premier League level, let alone big six club in the Premier League level, but we think he'll get the start anyway, on … [Read more...] about Manchester United Predicted XI vs Roma: Michael Carrick May Have Joshua Zirkzee Lead the Line

Man United Predicted XI at Chelsea: Bruno Fernandes Likely Returns to First Team
Manchester United, the never ending soap opera. A big, rich club that spends their money horribly wrong, the losing continues, fingers get pointed, and individuals lose their positions. Managee Michael Carrick remains in his, for now, but the ice below him is cracking rapidly. Bruno Fernandes remains in his team captain role as well, despite being dropped entirely on Sunday. … [Read more...] about Man United Predicted XI at Chelsea: Bruno Fernandes Likely Returns to First Team
Man United Team News vs Bournemouth: Martinez, Heaven, Rashford
Manchester United have three injury doubts for Sunday's visit from AFC Bournemouth: Lisandro Martinez, Ayden Heaven and Marcus Rashford. All three will need to pass a late fitness test in order to make the matchday squad here, for what is clearly a must-win game for the club.

Man United Predicted XI at Atletico Madrid: Rashford, Dalot Could Return to First Team
Michael Carrick is starting to make Manchester United supporters remember Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and not in a good way. Carrick is not evoking memories of "the baby faced assassin" and his clutch goal-scoring. Solskjaer excelled when he was the interim manager at United, but flopped after that tag got removed from his job title. Is Carrick a bit of history repeating? Well, the … [Read more...] about Man United Predicted XI at Atletico Madrid: Rashford, Dalot Could Return to First Team
Man United Predicted XI vs Tottenham: Rashford, Mainoo Should be Passed Fit
Manchester United are expected to get some of their key injured players back this weekend, and see some of their important players who are dinged up get back to full fitness. This should be huge, for a team and fan base that is struggling right now. Maybe getting England stars Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford back, and firing on all cylinders, should make a difference. After … [Read more...] about Man United Predicted XI vs Tottenham: Rashford, Mainoo Should be Passed Fit
Manchester United Predicted XI at Fulham: Luke Shaw Likely to Return
Luke Shaw did not look good the last time that he played, Manchester United's 5-2 win over Ipswich Town.

Manchester United Predicted XI vs Brighton: Will Luke Shaw Return?
Manchester United were certainly robbed yesterday, losing the home edition of the Manchester Derby, 1-0, with the only goal of the game, scored by Erling Haaland, coming on a controversial call.

Man United Predicted XI vs Man City: Dalot, Shaw Could Return to First Team
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick started a very strong lineup last night, in the 4-0 thrashing of Sabah in the Champions League. So we don't expect to see a whole lot changes, when he picks his first team on Sunday for the derby. If Luke Shaw is indeed match fit, and it sounds like he is, then he comes back into the first team, on the left flank. On the opposite side, … [Read more...] about Man United Predicted XI vs Man City: Dalot, Shaw Could Return to First Team
Manchester United Predicted XI at Everton: Noussair Mazraoui Could Replace Luke Shaw
Luke Shaw deservedly took a ton of heat, after he got totally schooled on Ipswich Town’s opening goal last Sunday, so one wonders if he should get the drop now? Is it time for Noussair Mazraoui, the man who replaced him in the match last weekend, to now come into the first team? Shaw might not have the same problem against an Everton team which got ravaged in the … [Read more...] about Manchester United Predicted XI at Everton: Noussair Mazraoui Could Replace Luke Shaw
