Garnacho, Rashford And Shaw To Start, Ronaldo On The Bench: United’s Predicted XI To Face West Ham

Manchester United made short work of Sheriff on Thursday evening so they will be looking to carry that momentum into Sunday’s clash against West Ham.

David De Gea will start in goal, but there could be a change at fullback, with Luke Shaw replacing Tyrell Malacia. Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez will make up the rest of the back four.

In midfield, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes are all likely to keep their places, even though that may be harsh on Fred, considering his recent form.


Alejandro Garnacho really impressed on his full debut midweek and, considering that neither Jadon Sancho nor Anthony Elanga have pulled up any trees on the left flank, the teenager deserves to stay in the team.

Antony is expected to start on the right wing but, despite his goal against Sheriff, Cristiano Ronaldo will probably be dropped by Erik ten Hag, with Marcus Rashford taking his place up front.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Play West Ham:

De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw, Fernandes, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Rashford, Garnacho
