Manchester United could confirm two new first teamers vs Everton

Manchester United are back at Old Trafford today for the first of nine games in 30 days in December as they look to end a gruelling year on an upbeat note.

United got their first win under new head coach Ruben Amorim on Thursday and are seeking their first in the Premier League on the Portuguese's watch against Everton.

Centre backs Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans could all still be unavailable after their absences against Bodo/Glimt three days ago but Amorim has a fullish squad to select from.

With United and Everton fans scheduled to protest against scandalous ticket price increases before kick-off, it is worth keeping an eye out off the pitch as much as on it.

Here are five things to look out for:

How many more changes?

Amorim reiterated again on Thursday night United "have to rotate the team". Six changes against Bodo/Glimt was more than expected and he could stray close to that number against Everton.

Rasmus Hojlund was "dead" after a 90-minute shift and some of the substitutions were made with today's game in mind. Diogo Dalot, Amad and Marcus Rashford will all be relatively fresh after their second-half appearances. Christian Eriksen did not play at all and United are certain to have the majority of possession this afternoon.

Who will have the ball?

"We need to have the ball because we have a short time to recover," Amorim stressed. It is curious that Kobbie Mainoo has been completely unused in the Portuguese's first two games in charge when United would benefit from a conductor in midfield against shot-shy Everton.
