Manchester United s 60 million strongman is expected to start against Liverpool, but all his starters have lost this season! Amorim may imitate the winning tactics of the two teams

Manchester United will play against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. British media revealed that Uruguay midfielder Ugarte is expected to return to the starting lineup. The 24-year-old Ugarte participated in the first-team preparations on Thursday, while his rival Casemiro did not participate because the latter traveled to South Korea and Japan to play in the two warm-up games of the Brazilian team.

The British "Manchester Evening News" disclosed that Manchester United's international players such as Bruno Fernandez, Casemiro, Cunha and Amad Diallo did not participate in Thursday's complete training. Amorim arranged for players who traveled longer and played more minutes during the international match to arrange extra rest so that they could recover their physical fitness. Carrington insiders revealed that these players still need to report to the training ground, but they will only conduct simple recovery training and will not participate in team training.

The 33-year-old Casemiro flew back to the UK from Asia. The journey was long and he needed more rest. In contrast, Ugarte was not included in Bielsa's Uruguay squad, which played warm-up matches against Dominica and Uzbekistan in Malaysia.

After the international match in September, Amorim arranged for Ugarte to start against Manchester City. Of course, the result was not ideal, and the team lost 0-3. It is worth mentioning that the team lost or was eliminated in all the games Ugarte started this season, including against Brentford, Manchester City and Grimsby. Among them, in the League Cup match against Grimsby in League Two, Ugarte was replaced at halftime because Manchester United was trailing 0-2 at the time and needed to strengthen their attack.

On the contrary, in the next game after Ugarte started, Casemiro all returned to the main lineup, and Manchester United won a complete victory. But this is actually logical, because Amorim started Ugarte to strengthen the defense, which shows that the opponent in that game was stronger, and it was reasonable for the Red Devils to lose.

In terms of injured players, Manchester United's Mazrawi is suspected of returning. He has been absent for 4 weeks due to injury and was unable to participate in joint training this Thursday. Lisandro Martinez remains unavailable and, while he is close to returning to normal training, it would be too early to be re-introduced and Amorim would not be taking any risks due to his injury record in recent years.

Also absent from training was youngster Eden Haven. He was injured in the first minute of the England U20 National Youth game. Although he persisted in playing the first half, he retired from injury after the intermission. Amorim has called up a number of young players from Manchester United's youth academy, including Jacob Devaney, Taylor Fletcher, Shay Lacy, Sam Mather, Bendito Mantato, Reece Munro, Chido Obi and Jim Swaytz, etc. to ensure training numbers.

After Manchester United was coached by Amorim last season, they often performed well in games against strong teams, including a visit to Liverpool in January. Manchester United fell behind first but took a 2-1 lead, but were eventually tied by their opponents. The Red Devils also defeated Manchester City away from home and eliminated Arsenal in the FA Cup. But the situation seems to be different this season. Manchester United can only defeat the newly promoted team or the opponent Chelsea with one less player.

Liverpool suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions before the "Double Red Club". Is it possible that Manchester United will send Slott to four consecutive losses? "The Sun" believes that Amorim should arrange for Sheshko to attract the double-team defense of Van Dijk and Konate, and create opportunities for Mbemo, Mason Mount, B Fee and others to score in the back row. Because Liverpool's two central defenders like to defend together rather than one-on-one, they often stand very close to each other. Chelsea took advantage of this. After distracting the two, Caicedo scored from a long shot.

The newspaper also suggested that Manchester United follow Glasner's tactics at Crystal Palace, abandon the high press, draw Liverpool's formation forward as a whole, and then use the space behind them to counterattack. Manchester United has officially announced that the team will wear white and purple away jerseys for the first time.
