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 are set to welcome Mason Mount back into their lineup for today’s highly anticipated FA Cup final against Manchester City. However, the squad will be missing Casemiro.
Mount, a summer acquisition, has had a challenging debut season at Old Trafford due to injuries, limiting his participation to just 19 games across all competitions. Despite his struggles, his return brings a boost to the team.
Casemiro, on the other hand, has been absent from full training sessions this week, leading to his omission from the squad. Additionally, it appears Anthony Martial has played his last match for the club, as he was not spotted with the team traveling on Saturday.
Harry Maguire also misses out due to a muscle injury that hasn’t healed as expected, according to manager Erik ten Hag. Luke Shaw is similarly unavailable, despite both players being named in England’s provisional 33-man squad for Euro 2024. Marcus Rashford, who wasn’t selected for the England squad, will start in the final.
**Confirmed Team Lineups:**
*Manchester City Starting XI:* Ortega Moreno, Walker, Stones, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland
*Substitutes:* Carson, Dias, Grealish, Doku, Alvarez, Akanji, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis
*Manchester United Starting XI:* Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Dalot, Mainoo, Amrabat, McTominay, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford
*Substitutes:* Bayindir, Evans, Kambwala, Lindelof, Eriksen, Mount, Amad, Antony, Hojlund
In summary, Manchester United face a challenging FA Cup final against their city rivals, with key players missing but the return of Mason Mount providing a much-needed lift.
