Hojlund axed, Dalot dropped, Casemiro banished: Amorim will be ruthless in his team selection vs Everton – prediction

Manchester United’s head coach Ruben Amorim thankfully has three more first team stars available to him for tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park than he did on Sunday.

Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen have recovered from illness and Manu Ugarte from a small injury.

We expect all three to go straight into the side.

Defensive reshuffle

Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are still injured, so Andre Onana will undoubtedly be in goal.

Yoro could join Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt in the back three, allowing Noussair Mazraoui to push up into the right wing back role.

Diogo Dalot has played at least 45 minutes of every single match this season other than the home tie against Southampton, when he was suspended. His form has dropped recently, perhaps as a result of being overplayed, so he could be rested with the Moroccan taking up the right wing back role.

New boy Patrick Dorgu should start at left wing back again.

Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans are still out injured. Victor Lindelof is another fit defensive option.

Midfield and attack

Ugarte will almost certainly replace Casemiro in midfield, who looked rusty against Spurs last time out.

The Uruguayan could partner either Bruno Fernandes or Eriksen, with the other of those two playing on the right side of the front three.

With Rasmus Hojlund’s performances well below par recently, he could be benched, with Josh Zirkzee playing in the number nine role and Alejandro Garnacho the left sided 10.

Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Toby Collyer and Amad are all sidelined.

Here, then, is our predicted XI for tomorrow’s lunchtime kick off and the last ever match United will play at Goodison Park:
