This is the Manchester United confirmed lineup for their league phase opener in the UEFA Champions League. The English giants will take on Azerbaijan representatives Sabah FK who took the place of Qarabag after beating them out for the top spot in the league last season.

According to PremierInjuries, there are six different players who could miss out on this one. In midfield, both Carlos Baleba and Manuel Ugarte are injured which hampers the options to rotate in defensive midfield. Further up Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford are dealing with problems that limits the amount of wingers currently available for selection. Defender Matthijs de Ligt and Tom Heaton are the other two absentees for this one. Manchester United Confirmed Lineup - GK – Senne Lammens - FB – Noussair Mazraoui - CB – Lisandro Martinez - CB – Leny Yoro - FB – Patrick Dorgu - DM – Youri Tielemans - DM – Kobbie Mainoo - AM – Bruno Fernandez - AM – Bryan Mbuemo - AM – Matehus Cunha - ST – Benjamin Sesko Subs: Darlow, Mee, Amass, Dalot, Heaven, Maguire, Andrey Santos, Mount, T. Fletcher, Lacey, Rashford, Zirkzee The Last Word This is one where nobody wants to be in Carrick’s seat, his squad is limited in rotation options. A win could reinvigorate the team and instill some confidence but a poor result would turn the situation into a pressure cooker. We can only look to last year when Ruben Amorim lost to Grimsby and his job became almost untenable with pressure rising immediately around him and every result from then on.
