Manchester United vs AC Milan LIVE confirmed squad, early team news and how to watch fixture vs Ruben Amorim

It makes sense to play as close as possible a team to the one that will start against Hull here, which is what I would do. That means Lammens in goal, obviously. Dalot and Shaw are clearly the first-choice full-backs and I’d play Maguire and Yoro together at centre-back.
Midfield is a tricky one, because it was Mount, but his injury is now something of a mystery. Tielemans is ahead of Mainoo from a fitness point of view so has to start alongside Santos, who is a lock in midfield. Fernandes should also be ready to start his first game of pre-season.
Sesko’s absence also remains a concern and even if he is fit next week, there is no way he can start. Mbeumo has been very good at centre-forward, Amad can continue on the right and I’d start Cunha on the left.

It’s the final game of pre-season, so it’s advantageous for the line-up to mirror the XI who will start on the opening day of the campaign against Hull. Maguire should start alongside Yoro if he’s fit.
Mount missed the game against Leeds in Dublin as a precaution and I would have brought him back into the team if he had been included, but he’s absent again, so Tielemans should start instead.
Mbeumo is nailed on to start down the middle again. Dorgu hasn’t really done much wrong on the left wing, but his final ball lacked a bit against Leeds, so I would like to see Cunha given a chance from the first whistle.
