Confirmed Man Utd line-up vs Man City, Sesko dropped

Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick has named his starting line-up for the Premier League derby against Manchester City.

The Red Devils have picked up draws in the last three league outings and will be eyeing a victory against their arch-rivals this afternoon.

Ahead of the game, Carrick has made some surprise choices including the decision to drop Sesko, who has netted thrice in his last two games.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Senne Lammens continues in goal for the Red Devils as usual.

However, the defence is quite different. Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw make up the four-man backline.

Leny Yoro has dropped to the substitutes' bench. In midfield, Casemiro has returned in the no.6 role ahead of Manuel Ugarte for the Red Devils.

The Brazilian will partner Kobbie Mainoo. Bruno Fernandes continues as the number 10, while Patrick Dorgu will start on the left wing again.

There are changes elsewhere. Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko make way. Amad Diallo has been picked on the right wing for United.

Bryan Mbeumo looks set to feature as the makeshift striker.

Confirmed Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Man City: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo.
