Manchester United team news: Erik ten Hag decides on Antony; predicted starting lineup vs Galatasaray

Erik ten Hag’s team, Manchester United, will play Galatasaray at Old Trafford on Tuesday in the Champions League in an attempt to start strong in Group A. After United lost to Crystal Palace at home on Saturday afternoon for their fifth loss of the season, the Dutchman was left with some difficult choices to make.

Taking a month-long leave of absence to investigate abuse claims in Brazil, Ten Hag has confirmed that Antony is back in the running.

The 23-year-old has vigorously refuted every claim and actively assisted the Manchester and his own country’s police inquiry.

However, Antony has missed five games, so Ten Hag must make a crucial decision as he considers his options for the right side of his assault.

Express Sport goes through the Red Devils’ probable lineup for Galatasaray, which includes one alteration from the sad outcome from the previous Saturday.

keeper of goals: Onana

Ten Hag has praised Altay Bayindir, United’s backup goalkeeper, for his arrival on deadline day and his quick adjustment to the team.

However, he chose to remain with Onana for the seven-day Carabao Cup victory over Palace, so it’s unlikely that he will withdraw for such a significant European match.Defense: Amrabat, Varane, Dalot, and Lindelof

Even if Ten Hag were to change up his defense, he wouldn’t have many choices because Sergio Reguilon, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Lisandro Martinez are still out.

It would therefore not be unusual to see United unchanged at the back. Diogo Dalot is the only senior full-back who is fit for the club, and his play has improved recently.

Following a strong debut, Sofyan Amrabat faltered at left-back on Saturday, awkwardly giving up the free kick that resulted in Palace’s winner. However, he ought to hold his post despite a crisis in the role.

On Monday, Raphael Varane will take the field after holding a press conference. Harry Maguire is anticipated to be benched in favor of Victor Lindelof, despite his subpar performance on Saturday.

Midfield: Mount, Hannibal, and Casemiro

Ten Hag might make the only change to his lineup and go back to the midfield that looked strong in last week’s 3-0 cup victory over Palace.

The five-time Champions League winner Casemiro looks unstoppable, and he will undoubtedly continue to serve as the focal point of the midfield.

Mason Mount, who has been a focal point since his injury comeback, ought to start for a third straight game.

Replacing Facundo Pellistri, Hannibal Mejbri may be chosen above Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay following a run of excellent performances in recent weeks.
