Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is set to field a bold 3-4-3 formation as his side takes on Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday at 2 PM GMT. The Portuguese tactician is expected to deploy a starting XI that showcases the club's exciting young talent and experienced heads.

A Look at the Predicted Lineup

  • Goalkeeper: Andre Onana will continue between the sticks, having impressed with his commanding presence and ability to start attacks from the back.
  • Defense: A three-man backline consisting of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Lisandro Martinez is expected to provide solidity and composure.
  • Midfield: Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo will anchor the midfield, offering a balance of defensive solidity and creativity.
  • Wing-backs: Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui will provide width and attacking threat from the wing-back positions.
  • Front three: Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, and Bruno Fernandes will lead the line, with the Danish striker aiming to add to his goal tally.

Key Talking Points

  • Youth and Experience: Amorim's lineup will blend youth and experience, with promising youngsters like Garnacho and Mainoo lining up alongside more established players like De Ligt and Bruno Fernandes.
  • Tactical Flexibility:The 3-4-3 formation offers Manchester United the flexibility to switch between a defensive and attacking shape depending on the situation.
  • Focus on Attacking Football: Amorim is clearly looking to play an attacking brand of football, with the inclusion of attacking players such as Garnacho, Diallo, and Hojlund.

What to Expect
