Man Utd predicted Lineup: Bruno Fernandes leads, Tielemans expected to start

Manchester United will continue their preparations for the new Premier League season tonight in Dublin's Croke Park against Leeds United, according to the Manchester Evening News. With only two games left until the opening match away to Hull City on August 22nd, Carrick is expected to give the main players more playing time.

Manchester United face Leeds in Dublin for their penultimate pre-season match this summer.

Rammens appears to have recovered from the illness that caused him to miss the match against Paris Saint-Germain and should make his first start of the summer. Mazraoui started against Paris Saint-Germain in the last round, but he might be replaced in this match to give Dalot more time. Haven performed indifferently on Saturday, so Yoro partnering Maguire might be a more stable option.

In midfield, Andrey Santos and Mount have worked well together this summer. However, Mount was substituted midway through the first half in Gothenburg, making his participation in this match doubtful. Both the former Chelsea player and Carrick insist it was just a precautionary substitution, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to have Tielemans partner Santos for the first time.

Captain Bruno Fernandes made his first appearance of the summer last weekend and should feature in the number 10 position, replacing Shea Lacey. However, this doesn't mean Lacey is ruled out, as he is expected to get more first-team opportunities this season.

Rashford has also returned to the Manchester United squad in Dublin. His future remains uncertain, but he has rejoined team training this week. Even so, he is unlikely to start. The same applies to Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez, both of whom recently returned to the squad after the World Cup.

Amad Diallo Traore performed well on the right wing on Saturday and should be enough to retain his position. On the left wing, Carrick might continue to use Patrick Dorgu as he is still getting used to the position. If Rammens also recovers from his illness from the weekend, Matheus Cunha could also start.

Upfront, Carrick would certainly want Sesko to start. However, he hasn't played since beating Liverpool at Old Trafford last season.

Mbeumo has been one of Manchester United's most eye-catching performers in pre-season this summer, and playing him as a striker before Sesko is 100% fit seems almost the most logical choice.

Manchester United's predicted starting XI: Rammens; Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Luke Shaw; Santos, Tielemans; Amad, Bruno Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo.
