Van De Beek And James To Start, Rashford And Fernandes Out: United’s Predicted XI To Play Granada

With Manchester United going into the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie against Granada with a two-goal lead, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may opt to make a few changes to his starting eleven.

David De Gea will line up in goal ahead of Dean Henderson, while in defence, there are expected to be at least two changes with captain Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw both suspended.

Eric Bailly is unavailable so Axel Tuanzebe will likely get a rare start alongside Victor Lindelof, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alex Telles taking up the two fullback positions.


In midfield, Scott McTominay’s suspension means we could see Nemanja Matic return to the lineup alongside Fred, with Donny van de Beek possibly starting ahead of Bruno Fernandes in the no.10 role.

Up front, Marcus Rashford’s foot injury means he may only be fit enough for the bench, but Dan James will be ready to feature, so the Welshman could make up a front three with Mason Greenwood and Edinson Cavani.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Face Granada:

De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Telles, Fred, van de Beek, Matic, Greenwood, Cavani, James
