Manchester United's lineup under Carrick

Senne Lammens is a sure choice to guard Manchester United's goal. The goalkeeper has been playing consistently well since arriving at Old Trafford, with good reflexes and decent footwork.

On the right flank of the four-man defense, Noussair Mazraoui is the first choice, especially given that Diogo Dalot has not lived up to expectations. When needed, Amad Diallo can also be deployed in this role.

Lisandro Martinez returned from injury and immediately took on the role of leader in the defense. The Argentine center-back's tenacity, ability to read the game, and fighting spirit were crucial pillars for the entire defensive system.

Under Ruben Amorim, Ayden Heaven was given a chance to start. The young player brings speed, energy, and long-term potential to the center-back position. Heaven promises to continue to be trusted as Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Harry Maguire are not yet in their best physical condition.

Luke Shaw is a capable left-back with his extensive Premier League experience. He is regaining his form after injury and will be in direct competition with Patrick Dorgu.
