5. Johnny Evans
Manchester United’s struggles with defensive injuries last season was a huge setback.
Manchester United had over 30 different defensive combinations.
Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof all missed significant playing time.
Injury woes continued in pre-season when new signing Lenny Yoro was sidelined.
With key Premier League fixtures on the horizon, this Europa League match is the perfect opportunity to rest defenders Lisandro Martinez or Matthijs de Ligt.
Evans’ leadership and calm presence will help maintain defensive concentration, ensuring Manchester United stays solid at the back while preserving first-team players.
Expect to see the veteran Northern Ireland man starting in that back line.
