Manchester United regains key players for season run-in

Manchester United is getting ready for the end of the season with the hope of welcoming back several injured players. Head coach Ruben Amorim has some big decisions to make regarding his starting lineup as he looks to improve the team’s chances of success. United will play their next match against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League shortly after the international break. Recently, they had two consecutive wins, defeating Real Sociedad 4-1 in the Europa League and Leicester City 3-0 in the Premier League. The team aims to focus on the Europa League, which is their best opportunity to win a trophy this season and secure a spot in the Champions League for the 2025/26 season. Among the players who may return are Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, and Kobbie Mainoo. Lisandro Martinez is confirmed to miss the rest of the season due to injury. Amad might return, but he may not have enough time to make a significant impact. With potential reinforcements coming back, Amorim's squad looks stronger. In goal, Andre Onana is expected to start. The center-back position will have some debate, with Maguire and Yoro considered strong options, while De Ligt has shown good performance lately. Dorgu, a left wing-back, has impressed with his attacking play, adding strength to the squad. Bruno Fernandes will likely play a deeper role alongside Ugarte in midfield. Casemiro is expected to be involved in the Europa League matches. The No.10 positions will have competition among players like Zirkzee, Mount, and Garnacho, but Garnacho’s unique attacking threat makes him a strong candidate to start. As more players return from injury, Amorim will face tough choices about his lineup. The recent wins have given the team a reason for optimism as they prepare for the final games of the season.
