How should Manchester United line up against Norwich in the Premier League.

On Saturday, Manchester United will play at home against Norwich, and our MEN writers have selected their favourite starting lineups for the game.

On Saturday afternoon, Manchester United will host the Norwich City Football Club at Old Trafford.

United began their season with a 1-1 draw against Leicester City, followed by a 1-0 loss to Everton after returning from the international break. All of United's hopes of playing in the Champions League are now pretty close to being over.

United are up against tough competition for the Europa League spots, and they will need to play with determination to salvage any kind of dignity they can throughout the remainder of the season. Given the evidence so far this season, it is doubtful, but United should be able to hold their own against Norwich.

How Manchester United should begin has been determined by our MEN writers.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka shown why he is no longer a regular at Everton, while Diogo Dalot is one of a small group of players who are truly committed to Manchester United. Neither Alex Telles nor Alvaro Fernandez are performing at the highest level for Manchester United, while Alex Telles is using the club as a stepping stone to get into the Brazil squad and does not perform well at all.

United's options in midfield are limited. Bruno Fernandes and Hannibal Mejbri will both be at the club next season, thus he should be given a chance to make his professional debut. Despite an uninspiring display at Everton, the front three should stay the same.

For United, injuries are beginning to bite hard and it won't be long until young players are given opportunities to shine, especially if the season is basically finished in the next week. Both Fernandez and Hannibal should start today, but it's too early.

In order to accommodate Wan-Bissaka, Dalot must return to right back in a game that United should dominate. Lindelof, Maguire, and Telles make up the rest of the defense, which is a self-selection.

It's the same story in the middle of the field. In a more offensive lineup, Fernandes and Pogba should play ahead of Matic because he is the only remaining holding player who is still available.

Ronaldo and Sancho will form a formidable front three alongside Rashford, who was unfortunate to be substituted at Goodison Park earlier this season.

After last weekend's shambolic display, there will be a desire to use the club's youngsters in this encounter, but with games against Liverpool and Arsenal on the horizon, caution is advised.

Due to the absence of Fred and McTominay, Hannibal is deserving of a starting position alongside Matic and Fernandes.
Sancho's best performances for Manchester United have come on the left wing, but he may be able to switch to the other flank to give Rashford a chance to regain his form in the coming weeks. It's worth another shot at Sancho's right side, despite his dismal performance on the right side last weekend.

The way in which they were defeated by Everton can't possibly be worse than what they experienced.
