Manchester United were forced to reshuffle before Saturday\u2019s Premier League opener against Hull City after Amad Diallo was not named in the matchday squad.<\/p>\n
The winger was missing when the team arrived, and his absence opened the door for Bryan Mbeumo to come in alongside Matheus Cunha and Patrick Dorgu in the forward line. Marcus Rashford, Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko and Joshua Zirkzee were all named among the substitutes.<\/p>\n
United\u2019s starting XI was listed as: Lammens; Mazraoui, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Santos, Tielemans; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Dorgu; Cunha.<\/p>\n
The bench read: Darlow, Dalot, Mart\u00ednez, Yoro, Mainoo, Lacey, Rashford, \u0160e\u0161ko, Zirkzee.<\/p>\n
Before the match, Carrick\u2019s squad update on Friday did not include any reference to a problem for Amad. That changed on Saturday, when Rob Dawson reported that the player was sidelined because of injury. No further details have been made available.<\/p>\n
Amad is one of four players unavailable for the fixture. Veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton and center back Matthijs de Ligt were also ruled out, while Mason Mount failed a late fitness test after suffering a knock in preseason.<\/p>\n
Carrick had previously made clear that Mount still had a chance of being involved, describing his status as \u201ctouch and go,\u201d but the midfielder was ultimately not considered fit enough to take part. With Amad out and Mount also missing, United\u2019s attacking options were altered again on the opening day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
