How Man United should line up vs Omonia Nicosia in Europa League fixture

On Thursday night, Manchester United plays Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League

United lost their first Europa League group game against Real Sociedad, but Erik ten Hag’s team came back to beat FC Sheriff 2-0 in Chisinau last month. Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo scored both goals.

Ten Hag will know how important it is to win the Europa League group, so he is likely to play a strong team. Ronaldo and Casemiro could start against Omonia, whose manager is Neil Lennon, who used to run Celtic.

Omonia is currently in fourth place in the Cypriot first division, and they have lost both of their Europa League games this season. Here is how our writers think United should line up.

Tom Heaton hasn’t played a full game for United yet, and there’s no reason not to give him the chance against Omonia. Luke Shaw can get some playing time, and if Raphael Varane was healthy, he should have been rested for this game.

Christian Eriksen could use a break, and Casemiro and Fred have started for Brazil many times together. United can keep Bruno Fernandes as captain, and bringing in Anthony Martial and Cristiano Ronaldo would make the attack more exciting.
