Erik Ten Hag vs Pep Guardiola ~ Potential Line up for Manchester United vs Manchester City community shield game next week as Guardiola vowed to revenge the FA defeat to Man United
Manchester United’s squad for today’s FA Cup final against Manchester City sees the return of Mason Mount, while Casemiro is notably absent.
Mount, who joined the club this summer, has had a challenging debut season at Old Trafford due to various injuries, limiting his participation to just 19 games in all competitions. Despite his struggles, he has recovered in time to rejoin the team for this crucial match.
Casemiro, on the other hand, has been unable to fully participate in training this week and will not be available for the final. Additionally, Anthony Martial appears to have played his last match for Manchester United, as he was not seen with the squad that traveled on Saturday.
Harry Maguire is also missing from the lineup. His muscle injury has not healed as expected, according to manager Erik ten Hag. Luke Shaw is another absentee, despite both Maguire and Shaw being named in England’s provisional 33-man squad for Euro 2024. Marcus Rashford, who was left out of the latest England squad, will be starting for United.
For Manchester City, their starting lineup includes Ortega Moreno in goal, with Walker, Stones, Ake, and Gvardiol in defense. The midfield features Rodrigo and Kovacic, while De Bruyne, Bernardo, and Foden support the attack spearheaded by Haaland. City’s bench comprises Carson, Dias, Grealish, Doku, Alvarez, Akanji, Nunes, Bobb, and Lewis.
Manchester United’s starting eleven consists of Onana in goal, with a defensive line of Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, and Dalot. The midfield is made up of Mainoo, Amrabat, and McTominay, while Garnacho, Fernandes, and Rashford will lead the attack. Substitutes for United include Bayindir, Evans, Kambwala, Lindelof, Eriksen, Mount, Amad, Antony, and Hojlund.
This final promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams fielding strong lineups despite some key absences. The return of Mount provides a boost for United, while City will be looking to their star-studded lineup to secure victory.
