Manchester United make four squad changes vs Everton
The early Man Utd team news ahead of their trip to face Everton in the Premier League fixture.
Manchester United are set to make at least four changes to their squad for the trip to face Everton in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime.
United are back in action when they make their final trip to Goodison Park and are set to be boosted by the return of three injured players for the match. Ruben Amorim was without 12 senior players for the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and named an inexperienced bench that included eight players who had never made a competitive appearance for the club before.
Amorim will be boosted by the return of three senior stars for the Everton clash and it appears a hint has already been dropped over who will drop out of the match day squad this weekend. Here is all the latest United team news with at least four squad changes anticipated:
Three in, four out
Amorim has confirmed United are set to welcome back three senior stars for their final trip to Goodison Park. Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen will both be available following recent illness issues while Manuel Ugarte is in contention to start after he returned from injury. It represents a huge boost to Amorim, with an extra option in defence and another two in central midfield.
As a result, a quartet of youngsters are set to miss out on a senior matchday role after they were named on the bench to face Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. Tyler Fredricson, Harry Amass, Jack Moorhouse and Jack Fletcher are all involved for United's U21 side against Chelsea on Friday night and are not expected to make the tight turnaround between matches in London and Liverpool. United kick-off at 7pm GMT against Chelsea at Kingsmeadow before the first-team face Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime.
United could still name a few youngsters on the senior bench this weekend with Chido Obi, Sekou Kone, Ayden Heaven and Elyh Harrison all in contention to keep their place in the first-team squad.

Speaking ahead of the club’s final trip to Goodison Park, Amorim issued a team news update and confirmed United would be boosted by the return of three players for the match. “Yes, we didn't lose players, we recover players. Chris, Manu and Leny return. With Chris was a misunderstanding, really clear on that, he’s healthy and he’s ready to play for many years at a high level. My limitations are explaining the injuries. I felt that the week is really good. I see things in trainings but sometimes it’s hard to pass that to the game, I feel they are improving tomorrow is another opportunity to show a better performance.”
When pushed for a further update on those who were currently sidelined through injury, he added: “It’s hard to know. Amad is for a long time. Mase continues to make his recovery, Luke as well, I don’t have a day. Toby seems to be the closest but not knows. Kobbie recovery, I don’t know. We gave to adapt to the schedule.” United will also be without both Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton for the Everton match and Amorim is unclear when the two goalkeepers will be available for selection again: “Altay is making the recover, Tom is making the recovery. We don’t have a date.”
