Manchester United manager Rubén Amorim has revealed his starting XI for the crucial FA Cup third-round tie against Arsenal. In a surprising move, the Portuguese boss has opted to bench the in-form Amad Diallo, handing a start to the young Argentine winger, Alejandro Garnacho.

Confirmed Lineup

The Red Devils will line up as follows:

  • Goalkeeper: Bayindir
  • Defenders: De Ligt, Maguire,  Martínez
  • Midfielders: Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot
  • Forwards: Bruno Fernandes (c), Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Højlund

Diallo Out, Garnacho In

The biggest talking point from the team news is the absence of Amad Diallo, who has been a revelation for United this season. The Ivorian winger has been forced to miss out due to a minor injury picked up in training. In his place, Alejandro Garnacho will be looking to make his mark on the biggest stage of his young career.

Amorim’s Tactical Choices

Amorim has opted for a balanced lineup that combines experience and youth. The inclusion of Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martínez in central defence provides a solid foundation, while the attacking quartet of Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Højlund offers plenty of creativity and goal threat.

What to Expect

This is shaping up to be a fascinating match between two of English football’s biggest clubs. Both teams will be eager to progress to the next round, and we can expect a closely contested encounter.
