The Red Devils have endured an uninspiring start to the 2026/27 season, with just one win picked up from six games played, and they lost 2-0 away at Atletico Madrid in midweek UEFA Champions League action.

Michael Carrick has looked to calm some of the pressure surrounding his squad, following Lisandro Martinez's open criticism of the club's summer transfer policy, with the former midfielder claiming the matter is now closed.

Carrick has confirmed Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo both remain as major doubts, after missing the trip to Madrid due to injury, and Benjamin Sesko is out with a calf issue.

Full back is a key area of concern for the away side, with Leny Yoro sent off against Atletico after being shoehorned in at right-back, and Diogo Dalot could move across with Harry Amass starting on the left side.

Man United XI: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Amass; Tielemans, Fernandes, Baleba; Mbeumo, Cunha, Rashford.
