In advance of this Sunday's game, Erik ten Hag gave a press conference from Carrington, where he answered several questions related to the team's present, including the new captaincy dilemma.
It should be remembered that Bruno Fernandes is not eligible to play the long-awaited classic against Liverpool at Anfield, because he received five yellow cards last weekend against Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
Thinking about the confirmed absences of Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martínez, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, the coach could once again give the ribbon to Raphaël Varane, who had the opportunity to use it in this season's victory against Crystal Palace for the Carabao Cup.
However, Manchester United have many leaders and experienced players in the dressing room, such as Victor Lindelöf, Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw, Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford, so there would be no clear option at the moment.
The Red Devils have lost 12 of their last 24 games in all competitions, the same number of defeats they conceded last season in 62 games. That season seemed like the beginning of a new era in Manchester, with a new cup under the arm of Erik ten Hag, a coach who came from Ajax with a good reputation. Calmness is not United's strong point this season and its owners are not improving the situation. The Glazer family opened the door to a partial or total sale but the process has dragged on for more than a year, fueling the anger of fans.
