Senne Lammens will make his Manchester United debut after being named in the starting lineup for Saturday\u2019s meeting with Sunderland. The selection represents a clear shift from recent matches, with Amorim handing a first opportunity to Lammens amid concerns over the Turkish international.<\/p>\n
Lammens is deployed behind a back three that features the returning Leny Yoro. Amad Diallo also returns to the squad after being granted time off following a family bereavement, with the former Sunderland loanee expected to start at right wing back, opposite Diogo Dalot.<\/p>\n
Casemiro is back in midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes after serving his one-match suspension following his red card against Chelsea. Further forward, Mason Mount gets the nod in place of Matheus Cunha, who drops to the bench.<\/p>\n
The manager set up his side in a 3-4-2-1 and named the following team: (3-4-2-1): Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes (c), Dalot; Mbeumo, Mount; \u0160e\u0161ko.<\/p>\n
Subs: Bay\u0131nd\u0131r, Dorgu, Heaven, L\u00e9on, Maguire, Mainoo, Ugarte, Cunha, Zirkzee.<\/p>\n
\u201cRotation like we did last year,\u201d Amorim said when asked to explain the decision to start Lammens. \u201cThey have to be ready for every game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a different team to what we played last week, so we put out a team that we think can win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ready to cope for everything the other team is doing. We can fight and that is the most important thing we need to change from the last game.\u201d<\/p>\n
United head into the fixture 14th in the Premier League, with just seven points from six games, and are under pressure to reverse a poor run of results. Newly promoted Sunderland are flourishing back in the top flight and sit sixth, having suffered only one loss so far under R\u00e9gis Le Bris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
