Man Utd predicted XI vs Spurs: Amorim refuses to give up on under-fire duo

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim could keep his starting lineup intact for the upcoming clash against Tottenham Hotspur, despite some calls to drop two underperforming players.The Red Devils have seemingly turned the corner recently, as suggested by their improved results. The team put together a three-match winning streak at the expense of Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton, before extending their unbeaten run to four by rallying from behind to earn a point on the road against Nottingham Forest.But while the likes of Casemiro and Amad Diallo were able to deliver the goods at the City Ground last weekend, others produced disappointing showings, and chief among them is Diogo Dalot, who infuriated Amorim with some of the blunders he committed.Ruben Amorim to keep Diogo Dalot in the starting XI vs SpursWhile the Portuguese manager has been urged to drop his compatriot and replace him with Patrick Dorgu or Noussair Mazraoui, we expect the 40-year-old to continue to back the struggling wing-back, and place him on the left, while Amad maintains his spot on the opposite flank.(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)Unlike Dalot, the jury is still out on Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian striker has only scored twice in his 11 outings since joining Man Utd, but the majority of the fanbase remains behind him, and the same goes for Amorim who considers him essential for his tactical jigsaw.Sesko was the target of a scathing criticism from Gary Neville last weekend, but most United supporters felt that the former captain’s rant was premature and uncalled for.Benjamin Sesko to spearhead the charge vs SpursIn any case, the former RB Leipzig should once again lead the line against Spurs, supported by fellow summer signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, keeping Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount on the bench.The rest of the starting lineup should also be confirmed, with the in-form Casemiro linking up with Bruno Fernandes in the double pivot, while Matthijs de Ligt marshals the backline, flanked by Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw, even though Harry Maguire will be pushing for a place after recovering from a knock.Man Utd Probable XI (3-4-2-1): Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko
