A number of substitutions have been made by Erik ten Hag in the starting lineup for Manchester United's match against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League, which will take place at the Zimbru Stadium this evening.
United, who have never competed against the team from Moldova, will be looking to earn their first win of their Group E campaign after suffering a defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad the previous week. The Reds were coming into their match against the Spanish team on a roll of four consecutive victories; however, they were unable to continue their recent impressive form and delivered an underwhelming performance at Old Trafford.
This indicates that Ten Hag will be rooting for Manchester United to regain their footing this evening and finish on a positive note before the international break. After receiving word that the Premier League match scheduled for this coming Sunday against Leeds United would not take place, the Dutch manager made the decision to field a strong team and made five substitutions from the side that played against Sociedad.
The following players have been added to the squad: Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, and Jadon Sancho. As a result, the following players have been removed from the squad: Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Anthony Elanga, Fred, and Casemiro. United's starting lineup is the same as it was when they defeated Arsenal in their previous Premier League match, with the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo starting in place of Marcus Rashford, who is sidelined due to injury.
Alejandro Garnacho and Charlie McNeill, both of whom are still relatively young, have been called up to serve as substitutes. A number of players, including Donny van de Beek, Anthony Martial, and Rashford, are unable to participate due to injuries.
