Matic And Lindelof Set To Return, Fred And Bailly Dropped: United’s Predicted Line Up To Face Sevilla

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opted to start Eric Bailly over Victor Lindelof in the quarter-final win against FC Copenhagen but if the Swedish international is fit enough, he is likely to be recalled to the starting eleven for the clash against Sevilla.

Other than that possible change, the defence will likely be kept as it is, with Brandon Williams covering for the injured Luke Shaw and Sergio Romero retaining his place in goal ahead of David De Gea.

Fred looked uncomfortable in the role he was given against Copenhagen, and his error led to the Danish side having their best chance of the game, so Nemanja Matic is almost certain to return to the lineup. Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes will keep their places in the side.


Juan Mata’s impressive cameo last time out will probably go unrewarded with Mason Greenwood likely to start once again from the right flank. Despite a disappointing display versus Copenhagen, Marcus Rashford is expected to start on the left with Anthony Martial playing through the middle.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Face Sevilla:

Romero, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams, Matic, Fernandes, Pogba, Greenwood, Martial, Rashford
