Man United Starting XI vs Spurs: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup

Man United Starting XI vs Spurs: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup Manchester United vs Tottenham: Predicted XI, Injury List and Carlos Baleba Debut Call Manchester United go into Saturday’s meeting with Tottenham carrying a familiar problem, too many injuries and too few certainties. The international break was meant to ease the strain. It did not. Michael Carrick still has a long list of absentees and doubts, and that leaves his team selection looking more forced than planned. The headline is that Carlos Baleba is finally set for his Manchester United debut. The summer signing arrived with an injury issue but has trained consistently over the past fortnight and is expected to start at the base of midfield. He should line up alongside Youri Tielemans in a pairing United need to work immediately. Manchester United injury concerns remain severe There are doubts all over the squad. Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo both pulled out of England duty and Carrick admitted they have trained only “a little bit” ahead of this one. Amad Diallo is in a similar position and has yet to feature this season. Matthijs de Ligt is edging closer after a back problem, though there is still no firm indication that he will be ready. Elsewhere, Patrick Dorgu picked up a hamstring injury during the break, Noussair Mazraoui returned with a knock, and Benjamin Sesko is expected to miss weeks with a shin issue. Photo IMAGO Carlos Baleba offers fresh midfield option With so many missing in attacking areas, Carrick does not have many calls to make. Bruno Fernandes will operate in his usual central role, while Matheus Cunha is expected to come in for Sesko. Bryan Mbeumo should keep his place out wide, and Rashford may be asked to start even if he is clearly short of full fitness. At the back, no changes are expected. Senne Lammens, now Belgium’s number one, is set to continue in goal behind the established back four. Predicted XI for Tottenham clash Manchester United predicted XI: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Baleba, Tielemans, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford, Cunha. Doubts: Rashford, Mainoo, Diallo, De Ligt. Injured: Dorgu, Sesko, Mazraoui, Heaton, Darlow. Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST on Saturday, October 10 at Old Trafford. Tottenham will see an opportunity. United will simply want enough fit players to get through it properly.
