"Away from home though, United have won their last two and are unbeaten in five since losing 3-1 to Brentford at the end of September. Noussair Mazraoui, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo are all away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, meaning Man Utd's right-hand side has been impacted. Amorim may look to keep Leny Yoro as the right-sided central defender, ask Diogo Dalot to switch flanks and hand recalls to Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu."
"Given Benjamin Sesko has just returned from injury, it may be too soon for the striker to start which opens the door for Zirkzee to lead the line ahead of Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount. Man United will once again be without central defensive pairing Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire as they continue their recovories from injury at the club's training base."
""I think everyone is well," Amorim said on Friday. "We have one more training [session] but, today, the rest of the lads are ready to go. I'm saying that nobody will recover, nobody is out. Just the guys that you already know." Manchester United via Getty Imag Predicted Manchester United XI: Lammens; Yoro, Heaven, Shaw; Dalot, Mainoo, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mount, Cunha; Zirkzee Injured: De Ligt, Maguire Unavailable: Mazraoui, Amad, Mbeumo (AFCON) Time and date: 4.30pm GMT on Sunday, December 21, 2025"
United have won their last two away matches and remain unbeaten in five since the 3-1 defeat to Brentford at the end of September. Noussair Mazraoui, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo are at the Africa Cup of Nations, weakening United's right flank. Amorim may keep Leny Yoro as the right-sided centre back, ask Diogo Dalot to switch flanks and recall Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu. Benjamin Sesko has just returned from injury, so Zirkzee is favoured to start ahead of Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount. Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire remain injured and unavailable. The match is scheduled for 4.30pm GMT on Sunday, December 21, 2025.
