Amorim names team for Chelsea clash

Ruben Amorim has named his Manchester United side to take on Chelsea in the Premier League at Old Trafford.

The boss has made two changes to the team that was beaten 3-0 in last Sunday’s Manchester derby against City at the Etihad Stadium.

Harry Maguire, who made his 250th United appearance last time out, comes into the defence in place of Leny Yoro.

Casemiro returns in midfield to partner captain Bruno Fernandes as Manuel Ugarte, like Yoro, moves to the substitutes’ bench.

Also among the back-up brigade is fit-again pair Mason Mount – who could face his former club – and Matheus Cunha, after the attacking duo missed the derby through injury.

Altay Bayindir continues in goal, with new signing Semme Lammens on the bench, while Maguire is joined in the back three by Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw.

Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu are the wing-backs, with Amad and Bryan Mbeumo occupying the no.10 positions behind Benjamin Sesko – who is making his first home Premier League start in attack.

UNITED TEAM

Starting XI: Bayindir; Maguire, de Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes (c), Dorgu; Amad, Mbeumo; Sesko.

Substitutes: Lammens, Fredricson, Heaven, Yoro, Mainoo, Ugarte, Cunha, Mount, Zirkzee.
