Midfielders: Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek
United’s midfield was heavily scrutinised after last weekend’s defeat. Club icon Paul Scholes took to social media to demand that the likes of Scott McTominay and Fred get on the half-turn in order to better bring the attackers into the game.Â
Ten Hag could tinker with his midfield. McTominay seems likelier to keep his place than the underwhelming Fred, with the Scotland international to be tasked with anchoring the midfield behind two No 8s.
Bruno Fernandes was poor against Brighton and could be a big-name exclusion. Christian Eriksen started the Brighton defeat as a false nine in a tactical experiment that failed to work. The former Brentford man could drop into midfield against his old employers, alongside Donny van de Beek.Â
