Amorim makes four changes for derby clash

Ruben Amorim has selected his Manchester United side to take on City in the derby at the Etihad Stadium.

The Reds boss has made four changes from the 3-2 win over Burnley last time out, ahead of the international break.

Three of those are enforced with Diogo Dalot, Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha all ruled out due to injury.

The other change sees Casemiro making way for Manuel Ugarte in midfield, with both having travelled to South America for World Cup qualifiers.

As Amorim stated on Friday, during his press conference, Altay Bayindir is in goal, with new boy Senne Lammens among the substitutes.

Benjamin Sesko spearheads the attack, making his first Premier League start since joining from RB Leipzig. 

Noussair Mazraoui enjoys his maiden inclusion in an XI this term, at right wing-back, while Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu returns to the line-up on the opposite flank.

There is a question over whether Amad or Bryan Mbeumo will operate on the left, behind Sesko.

United: Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes (c), Dorgu; Amad, Mbeumo; Sesko.

Substitutes: Heaton, Lammers, Fredricson, Heaven, Leon, Maguire, Mainoo, Casemiro, Zirkzee.
