Man United may have benefited from the international break since it gave them a chance to try to get some of their injured players back.
Erik ten Hag and Manchester United have a lengthy stretch of games ahead of them.
After the break, Manchester United will visit the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City in an attempt to win the Premier League for the fifth time in a row.
Over a fortnight ago, United posted their fourth straight league victory by defeating current table-toppers Arsenal 3-1 at Old Trafford. United had previously been defeated 4-1 on their previous trip to the blue side of the city. The triumph for Erik ten Hag's team served as a statement,Therefore they will be confident about their chances of competing against City in less than a week.
Sadly, United's hopes of maintaining their current success in the league were dashed when their scheduled matches against Leeds United and Crystal Palace were postponed earlier this month. Even yet, Ten Hag was able to field a stronger team than he had intended to against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League last Thursday night because to those unforeseen cancellations.
Despite having to leave several players behind due to injury concerns, the Dutchman had a wide selection of players to choose from for the trip to Moldova. Marcus Rashford, who has three goals in the league so far this season, skipped out due to a muscle issue, while actors like Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, and Donny van de Beek were also unable to participate.
In light of this, United may have benefited from the international break, which allowed them to attempt the recovery of some of their injured players before what is expected to be a demanding period. Having said that, MEN Sport has carefully examined United's strongest lineup, assuming that everyone is healthy and ready for selection.
David de Gea is a goalkeeper.
The Spaniard has clearly established himself as Ten Hag's first choice goalkeeper by starting each of United's eight games this season in all competitions. Since turning in a subpar effort in last month's 4-0 thrashing at Brentford,In his last six games, he has had three clean sheets while only allowing three goals.
Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia make up the defense.
On present form, the back four chooses themselves. Ten Hag hasn't looked back since the aforementioned quartet made their debut together in the 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag and Manchester United have a lengthy stretch of games ahead of them.
Varane has taken over as United's defensive captain, assisting Malacia and Martinez in adjusting to life in the Premier League. Dalot has also advanced recently and has started to play a crucial role in Ten Hag's style of play.
Casemiro, a midfielder Brazilian Fernandes and Christian Eriksen
Although Casemiro has been held out of the starting lineup by Scott McTominay for the time being, it is widely believed that the Brazilian will ultimately push his way into Ten Hag's favored lineup and unseat the Scotland international. Since leaving Real Madrid last month, the 30-year-old has made just one start, against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
Eriksen and Fernandes, who both recently put in strong performances, have secured their spots in midfield ahead of him. Eriksen is now impossible to drop.
Attack: Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Antony
The big problem here is Cristiano Ronaldo. Ten Hag does he start him or not? He replaced Rashford against Sheriff and scored his first goal of the year, but you would anticipate that if Rashford is healthy enough to play against City, he will take back his position.
Rashford, assisted by Antony and Sancho on either side, has the potential to cause damage, as was shown against Arsenal. Ten Hag prefers a quick, fluid front-three. Rashford is in excellent form right now and should keep his spot.
How Manchester United could start with every player available and in shape.
De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes, Antony, and Rashford make up United's strongest lineup.
