Manchester United predicted XI vs Viktoria Plzen as Ruben Amorim unleashes new midfield

Ruben Amorim hasn't been afraid to make changes to his Manchester United starting XI since arriving at the club and Thursday's line-up could again see the head coach shuffle his pack.

The United boss has named a 24-man travelling squad for the clash with Viktoria Plzen. Toby Collyer has been named in a squad under Ruben Amorim for the first time having returned from an injury he picked up back in October.

There was hope that Jonny Evans could be included in the squad for the first time since Amorim's opening game at the helm but he has not been named in the travelling squad.

Andre Onana will start in goal with Harry Maguire potentially set to start in the back three. Noussair Mazraoui should start to his right with Lisandro Martinez offered a chance to play his way back into form ahead of the derby at left centre-back.

Amad has been one of the top performers under Amorim and needs to start at right wing-back with Tyrell Malacia offered a chance on the left. The centre of the midfield could do with freshening up and so Casemiro and Christian Eriksen should start.

Amorim admitted Bruno Fernandes looked tired in the latter stages against Nottingham Forest and so he should be given a breather with Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount starting behind Marcus Rashford.

Predicted United XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Amad, Casemiro, Eriksen, Malacia; Zirkzee, Rashford, Mount
