Man Utd predicted XI vs Everton: Carrick to drop ‘unreal’ Red?

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick could be facing a major selection dilemma upfront, as Matheus Cunha could be relegated to the bench.The Red Devils have been idle for more than two weeks due to their early elimination from the FA Cup. Therefore, Carrick was afforded extended time on the training ground to refine his side.On Monday evening, United will return to action on Monday evening with a clash against Everton at Goodison Park, and it will be interesting to see if there will be any noticeable tactical adjustments.More importantly, Man Utd fans are left to wonder who will lead their frontline this time around.Benjamin Sesko pushing to replace Matheus CunhaBenjamin Sesko celebrates after scoring Man United’s winning goal vs Fulham.

Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw should complete the defence in front of Senne Lammens.Man Utd Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Mbeumo; Sesko.
