How Manchester United should line up vs Omonia Nicosia in Europa League fixture

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United take on Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday night. United were defeated in their opening Europa League group match against Real Sociedad, but Erik ten Hag's side bounced back to comfortably beat FC Sheriff 2-0 last month thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo in Chisinau.

Ten Hag will be aware of the importance of winning the Europa League group and he is expected to play a strong side, with Ronaldo and Casemiro in contention to start the game against Omonia, who are managed by former Celtic boss Neil Lennon.

Here's how our writers think United should line up. Samuel Luckhurst Tom Heaton has still not made his full debut for United and there should be little harm in giving him the privilege against Omonia.

Luke Shaw can have a run-out and Raphael Varane should have been rested for this game if he was fit. Christian Eriksen could do with a breather and Casemiro and Fred have started together umpteen times for Brazil.
