manchester united vs villarreal starting lineup. United lost their last game at old Trafford in the English premiership , this is something the fans really did not enjoying. So based on that the team and the coach are on pressure so they are expected to win this game by all means necessary.
Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles are expected to start in today’s game , while Victor Lindelof is set to get the nod ahead of former Villarreal centre-back Eric Bailly, starting in the heart of the defence alongside Raphael Varane.
Marcus Rashford (injured) and Amad Diallo (injured) remain on the sidelines due to injury we expect them to come back in October.
“They’re still a few weeks away so, hopefully after the international break, they could be available,” Ole told club media, when asked about Rashford and Amad.
“They’re working hard, both of them positive, and it’s been a long, long time for Marcus of course. Probably the longest he’s been out but he’s needed it.
“He looks raring to go, happy and he knows he’s missed out on pre-season, but he’s done loads of good conditioning work and should be ready soon.”
Scott McTominay and Fred could retain their midfield partnership, while Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba will likely start again in advanced midfield roles, with Jadon Sancho and Jesse Lingard might start on the bench
Good news for CR7 fans world wide , Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to lead the line up front and will break Iker Casillas‘ Champions League record for the most appearances in the competition’s history if he features tonight, setting a new record of 178 games.
Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been given a two-game Champions League ban by UEFA.
The right-back was sent off in the 35th minute of our 2-1 defeat to Young Boys in our Group F opener for a foul on Christopher Martins Pereira.
The mandatory one-match suspension has been doubled due to the decision to regard the offence as “rough play”.
“That’s football for you and why we have a big and strong squad,” said the manager when asked about the pair by club media’s Mark Sullivan.
“It looks like Harry is definitely out. Luke, we might give a chance to but he didn’t train this morning. So maybe the best case scenario is he will join us on the bench.
“There has to be a reshuffle but that’s why we have a big squad of good players and I’m sure we’ll get a good performance with whoever is selected.”
At his press conference, Ole explained that Maguire could be missing for a few weeks.
“Luke has been in today so I’ll give him a chance to be involved. He didn’t train with the team. Harry is, more or less, definitely out and it doesn’t look good. It’s Harry’s calf and it might take a few weeks. Let’s see how quickly he recovers. Of course, he was hoping to play against Villarreal before but he missed the last game we played against them. That’s football for you. With Aaron suspended, we will have to make a few changes.”
Ashley Young said “
The way [United] have started the campaign is not the way they wanted to get off. The way that this last week has gone as well, the defeats in the Carabao Cup and against Aston Villa – it adds pressure to the game tonight.
Your home games in the Champions League are always vitally important. You want to get three points when you’re at home. They need to get the fans behind them and go and win the game.
