Erik ten Hag could unleash new-look Manchester United attack vs Liverpool FC

Having named an unchanged starting line up from the opening night victory over Fulham at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, Erik ten Hag will be forced to tinker this afternoon.

Ahead of the visit of Liverpool, Manchester United have lost Mason Mount to a muscle injury. He is expected to be out for a 'few games', although no specific timeframe has been set.

Nevertheless, it is a cruel blow for the England international who saw his first season at the club ravaged by injury issues.Ten Hag's decision to deploy Mount as United's most advanced midfielder means that Bruno Fernandes, in the absence of the injured Rasmus Hojlund, has been deployed as a 'false nine' in each of the Reds' opening three games this season.

But with Mount once again assigned to the treatment room, the prospect of Fernandes dropping back into midfield opens up an opportunity for Joshua Zirkzee, who marked his debut by scoring the winner against Fulham after stepping off the bench.

Having made two appearances via the bench, Zirkzee will be determined to lead United's attack. Should he get the nod, much of the focus will be on who starts either side of him. Amad and Marcus Rashford have begun United's opening three games this season, meaning Alejandro Garnacho has been tasked with impacting proceedings from the bench.
