Team News: Harry Maguire keeps spot for Manchester United's trip to Sheffield United

Harry Maguire keeps spot for Man United's trip to Sheffield United

Harry Maguire again gets the nod in the middle of the defence for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Sheffield United.

The England international started against Brentford before the international break and retains his spot for the game against the Blades, with Jonny Evans also featuring once again.

Victor Lindelof will play at left-back, with Sergio Reguilon still not fit enough to come into the squad despite returning to training last week following a hamstring problem.

Sofyan Amrabat has overcome a problem that he picked up on international duty with Morocco, and he is joined in central midfield by Scott McTominay, as Casemiro is absent due to an issue he suffered while representing Brazil.

There is also a return to the XI for Antony, with Mason Mount the player to drop out of an attacking position.

Rasmus Hojlund is still waiting for his first Premier League goal for the Red Devils, but he has netted three times in the Champions League, and the Denmark international will play through the middle.

A strong bench includes the returning Raphael Varane, while Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Martial are also options in reserve for the 20-time English champions.

As for Sheffield United, head coach Paul Heckingbottom has made two changes from the side that started the loss at Fulham before the international break, with Jack Robinson and James McAtee replacing Anel Ahmedhodzic and Chris Basham.

The Blades have struggled for goals this term, but Oli McBurnie keeps his spot despite not getting off the mark in the Premier League during the 2023-24 campaign, while Cameron Archer will also feature in the final third of the field.

Sheffield United: Foderingham; Bogle, Trusty, Robinson, Thomas; Hamer, Souza, McAtee; Norwood; McBurnie, Archer Subs: Amissah, Brewster, Buyabu, Fleck, One, Osborn, Seriki, Slimane, Traore

Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Evans, Lindelof; Amrabat, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund Subs: Bayindir, Varane, Eriksen, Hannibal, Mount, Pellistri, Van de Beek, Garnacho, Martial
