Manchester United prepares to bolster their lineup with the return of Mason Mount for the highly-anticipated FA Cup final clash against Manchester City this Saturday. Mount, who has faced injury setbacks throughout his debut season at Old Trafford, is poised to make his mark after overcoming a longstanding calf issue.
Manager Erik ten Hag confirmed Mount’s inclusion in the squad alongside Victor Lindelof and Anthony Martial, expressing optimism about their readiness for the final showdown. However, the absence of Harry Maguire due to a persistent muscle injury, despite initial expectations of his recovery, poses a challenge for the Red Devils.
The pressure mounts on Ten Hag amid speculation about his future at the club, with rumors of a potential sacking looming after the Wembley showdown. Despite the uncertainty, Ten Hag finds solace in the return of key players like Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, as well as recent training sightings of Raphael Varane, Lindelof, and Martial.
The tactical setup remains a pivotal point of discussion, with questions arising about United’s formation choice for the final. Will they revert to the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation or stick with the successful 4-2-2-2 system that marked their late-season victories?
Anticipating the clash, here’s the predicted Man Utd XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Fernandes, McTominay; Garnacho, Amad.
Injury updates reveal Maguire and Shaw’s absence due to injury concerns, while doubts linger over Mount, Lindelof, and Martial.
Mark your calendars for 3 pm BST on Saturday, May 25th, 2024, as Wembley Stadium sets the stage for this epic battle. Catch the action live on BBC One and ITV1 for an unforgettable FA Cup final experience.
