Against Everton in the Premier League, how should Manchester United line up?

This is how our MEN writers believe Manchester United should begin their Premier League match against Everton on Saturday.

On Saturday afternoon, Manchester United will travel to Goodison Park to face Everton.

In their first match back from the international break, United drew 1-1 with Leicester City last weekend, a disappointing result for the Red Devils. Because of the wide open nature of the fight for the top four, Ralf Rangnick will be hoping for a better performance from his team in this match.

United aren't expected to qualify for the Champions League this season, but Arsenal's 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace earlier in the week gave them some reason to be optimistic. Frank Lampard's relegation-threatened Everton visit Old Trafford this weekend, and the Toffees are desperate for three points to keep their place in the Premier League. Everton's hopes of staying in the Premier League were dealt a major blow when they were beaten by Burnley in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Everton should be prepared to fight when Manchester United comes to town, as they did in the reverse encounter, which ended in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in October.
Listed below is how our MEN writers believe Manchester United should line up.
It is necessary to offload Eric Bailly this summer, but he would make for a better centre-back versus Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, despite the latter's distinct difference in style from the previous campaign.

Regardless of whether or not Scott McTominay is fit, Nemanja Matic should be called upon to start this game. Fred, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Jadon Sancho have all earned their places in the team, while Bruno Fernandes and Alex Telles are both in by default at left-back.

In the last two games, Anthony Elanga hasn't done very well. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga are very similar, but Elanga hasn't done well.

Four changes

When it comes to selecting his team, Rangnick will have limited room to maneuver due to the absences of Varane and Shaw. Telles and Lindelof will reap the benefits of the absences of Varane and Shaw. Because he appeared so comfortable in that position last week, Maguire should start there again this week.

Matic's physicality is likely to be required at the moment, which means he will have to start at the base of the midfield with Fred and Fernandes playing ahead of him. Pogba's performance last week was disappointing and he isn't contributing as his contract expires.

Both Lingard and United manager Jose Mourinho are in the same boat, and they have treated them extremely differently this season. It seems strange that he has received so little playing time, and with Rashford struggling for form and Elanga looking sharper from the bench, he deserves to be given a chance on the right flank in a front three that will also include Sancho and Ronaldo.

Make no mistake about it, after drawing with Leicester City the previous Saturday, United simply must win this game. Despite the fact that they are without four key players due to injury, their performance in that draw was troubling, and they must respond in this game.

Despite the fact that Everton has been a nightmare to watch this season, United should be able to control the game with an attack-minded midfield three consisting of Fred, Paul Pogba, and Ander Herrera. Ronaldo has recovered from illness, and his return will be greeted with open arms.

It's possible that Sancho should be moved back to the right flank to give Rashford a chance to regain his best form, as he has done so brilliantly on the left. Rashford isn't the same player when he's on the other side of the field.
