Manchester United Predicted XI vs Fenerbahce (Europa League Away, 2024/25)
Our predicted MUFC XI for the Europa League group stage match against Fenerbahce is ready.
After two draws in their opening Europa League fixtures, Erik ten Hag’s side faces growing pressure to secure a win in this encounter. With Jose Mourinho in charge of Fenerbahce, expect plenty of drama, as the Portuguese manager is sure to have his players fired up for this challenge against his former club.
Given the usual fireworks when Mourinho is involved, this promises to be an exciting matchup.
United’s squad has been hit with injury and suspension issues, especially in midfield following Bruno Fernandes’ red card in the last Europa League game.
Selecting the starting XI for this match was a tough task, but we’ve given it our best shot. We expect limited changes as Ten Hag aims for a vital first win in the 2024/25 campaign.
Now, let’s dive into our predicted MUFC XI against Fenerbahce:
Andre Onana will start in goal, as Erik ten Hag typically sticks with his first-choice goalkeeper. The Cameroonian shot-stopper will need to be at his best in this crucial match.
Noussair Mazraoui makes an early return and will start at right-back, with Diogo Dalot on the left. Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt are expected to form the central defensive partnership.
With injuries and suspensions affecting the midfield, Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte will line up together for the first time, while Christian Eriksen will play in the number 10 role.
Joshua Zirkzee is set to start, providing Rasmus Hojlund with a well-deserved rest after his recent injury. Amad will feature on the right wing, with Marcus Rashford taking his place on the left.
