Key duo ruled out as Amorim makes 10 changes | Expected Man Utd line-up vs Grimsby Town

Manchester United have failed to qualify for European football this season after finishing 15th in the Premier League last campaign. As a result, they have entered the Carabao Cup earlier than usual.

Tonight, Ruben Amorim’s team will travel to Blundell Park to play League Two team Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup’s second round.

Man Utd will be eager to win this game because they haven’t won their opening match of the season.

Team news

Both Lisandro Martínez and Noussair Mazraoui are unable to play in this match since they have not yet fully recovered from their individual issues.

Predicted line-up

It is anticipated that Ruben Amorim would drastically alter his starting lineup from the match against Fulham last weekend. Andre Onana is probably going to make a comeback tonight, but Altay Bayindir started the first two Premier League games in goal.

Ayden Heaven and Tyler Fredricson might be the other two center backs, with Harry Maguire in the CCB position. As a result, Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, and Matthijs de Ligt may get some rest.

Diego Leon is anticipated to be on the opposing team, while Diogo Dalot may be on the RWB. Patrick Dorgu and Amad Diallo could then come on as substitutes if necessary.

While Kobbie Mainoo hasn’t played a single minute this season, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro have both started in the engine room during Premier League games.

The 20-year-old has reportedly grown dissatisfied with his current circumstances and would be willing to leave before the transfer deadline next week.

But tonight, the Englishman and Manuel Ugarte ought to be in midfield. Casemiro would therefore have to settle for a spot on the bench.

Fernandes is probably going to maintain his spot in Amorim’s starting lineup despite his lackluster performance the previous game, but he might be promoted to the CAM position.

Benjamin Sesko is probably going to make his complete Manchester United debut tonight, while Joshua Zirkzee might start with the Portuguese. Thus, among the stand-ins would be Bryan Mbeumo, Mason Mount, and Matheus Cunha.
