Manchester United predicted XI vs Manchester City: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s possible starting XI as striker looks set to miss derby clash

Midfielders:

The sitting midfielders of Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay were outplayed in the first half in Leipzig and were far too pedestrian for what is expected of a United side. Despite that, we don’t expect Solskjaer to change from having two sitters but that Fred could come in for Matic. In front of those two will again be Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese playmaker is undoubtedly the team’s star man having contributed seven goals and four assists in the Premier League so far this season. This means the likes of summer buy Donny van de Beek and Paul Pogba, whose future is uncertain, will be kept in reserve.
