Man United line-up vs AC Milan predicted as Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo decisions made Manchester United are in Wroclaw for their final pre-season fixture against Ruben Amorim's AC Milan Michael Carrick will have a final pre-season look at his Manchester United players in action this afternoon when the Reds face Ruben Amorim's AC Milan in Wroclaw. This game should be at an intensity similar to a competitive fixture and while Carrick may want to make some changes, his starting line-up should be a big clue as to who will play against Hull City. Senne Lammens will be the first choice this season, a decision made all the more clear by him inheriting Altay Bayindir's No.1 shirt this week. He did well against Leeds before being replaced by Dermot Mee and further minutes should have him up to speed for the big kick off. Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven started in Dublin while Harry Maguire was rested. The experienced centre-back has travelled for this game and should start. Who will be his centre-back partner is a trickier question. Yoro just about edges the race but if Heaven were to come on and do well he would give Carrick a headache. Carrick could start Mazraoui today and give Dalot half an hour off the bench. At left-back, Luke Shaw should start ahead of next weekend's game after being replaced in the starting XI by Harry Amass in midweek. There will be a temptation to pick Kobbie Mainoo in midfield to get some minutes in his legs, but it is a risk. He will come off the bench if he doesn't start and will have a point to prove against Amorim's side. In his absence, Andrey Santos could be partnered by Youri Tielemans. Bruno Fernandes is the obvious choice in attacking midfield. However, it would be good to see Shea Lacey come up against another top side later in the game. That test would only help his development. On the right, Amad should get the nod, particularly while Benjamin Sesko is recovering. Like Mainoo, Carrick will be tempted to start Marcus Rashford but his return should be saved for a second-half substitution. Instead, Matheus Cunha can receive more minutes. Up front, Bryan Mbeumo will start for Carrick. He has been one of the most impressive players this summer and if he can grab another goal, his confidence will be sky high heading into the new campaign. United predicted line-up vs AC Milan: Lammens; Mazraoui, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Santos, Tielemans; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbeumo
