The start of the Premier League season hasn’t been smooth for the Manchester based outfit, who secured a fortuitous win over Wolverhampton Wanderers but succumbed to defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur last week.
Criticism has centered on United’s midfield, with Gary Neville and Roy Keane questioning the effectiveness of the three-man midfield partnership featuring Casemiro, Bruno Ferandes, and Mason Mount.
However, Mount will be sidelined for the upcoming matches due to an injury picked up against Spurs.
Given the scarcity of options in the reserve, sweeping changes aren’t likely in the cards for the United manager. Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen emerge as potential candidates to step in for the absent Mount.

As for the defensive line, significant alterations aren’t anticipated, although Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s early exit after 66 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could lead to a tactical change.
