"Matthijs de Ligt missed the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Thursday with a minor knock. Ayden Heaven deputised at the back but struggled in the first half, picking up a yellow card, before being replaced at half-time."
"The full-back put United into the lead against the Hammers, with his first goal in over 18 months, but soon after had to be withdrawn after signalling to the bench. Asked for an update on the pair after the 1-1 draw, Amorim said he "thinks" they will be available, adding: "We'll see.""
"Matheus Cunha is expected to start against his former club, after making his return from injury last time out. He will partner Bryan Mbeumo in attack, while a decision needs to be made over Joshua Zirkzee."
"Predicted Manchester United XI (3-4-3): Lammens; Mazraoui, Yoro, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Zirkzee Time and date: 8pm GMT on Monday, December 8, 2025"
Matthijs de Ligt missed the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Thursday due to a minor knock, with Ayden Heaven covering at centre-back but struggling and receiving a first-half yellow before being withdrawn at half-time. Diogo Dalot opened the scoring with his first goal in over 18 months but was later withdrawn after signalling to the bench. Ruben Amorim thinks both De Ligt and Dalot will be available after the weekend. Leny Yoro is pushing for a start following a midweek substitute appearance. Matheus Cunha is expected to start alongside Bryan Mbeumo, while Joshua Zirkzee’s place remains under consideration.
