Manchester United host Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend with change imminent at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim was this week announced as the new Manchester United manager and will begin his reign during November’s international break. The Portuguese coach will be a keen observer as Ruud van Nistelrooy oversees the side until his arrival, with the latter having led the side to a much improved performance in midweek.
The Red Devils thrashed Leicester City 5-2 to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, a performance in contrast to their goalscoring issues in the Premier League this season.

Manchester United vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news
Manchester United team news
Manchester United have no fresh injury concerns though the club’s long list of absences is unlikely to reduce before the international break. However, there are question marks over Christian Eriksen after the midfielder’s withdrawal in midweek. Van Nistelrooy could opt for the more defensively secure partnership of Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte at Old Trafford.
Kobbie Mainoo (thigh), Antony (ankle), Mason Mount (calf) remain out, while Harry Maguire (calf) and Leny Yoro (foot) are not ready to return. United continue to deal without a recognised left-back in the absence of Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw.
Manchester United predicted lineup
Manchester United predicted XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Casemiro, Fernandes; Garnacho, Rashford, Hojlund.
