Midfield

Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo will play as Carrick’s holding midfielders as they focus on making life difficult for the home side at the centre of the park.

The talented trio of Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo will operate just ahead of them as part of Carrick’s attack. All three of them need to create some decent chances in the final third if the Red Devils are to secure a positive result this weekend.

Patrick Dorgu and Mason Mount will be named on the bench as they wait for their opportunity to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Bryan Mbeumo will lead the charge for the Mancunian giants up top. He has to find a way to put his pace to good use in the final third.

Benjamin Sesko is a major concern for this game due to injury. However, Joshua Zirkzee will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages if needed.
