Manchester United and Villarreal meet in a game for the Group Stage of the Champions League 2021/2022. This game will take place at Old Trafford in Manchester on September 29, 2021 at 3:00 PM (ET). Key players are healthy on both sides. Here is all the detailed information about this Champions League potential lineups.
Things are not working out for Manchester United, they lost their first Group F game against Young Boys 2-1. They now have Cristiano Ronaldo in the squad but it seems that that is not enough to win important games.
Villarreal suffered against Atalanta at home but in the end the result was a 2-2 draw, at least it is a sign that the players are playing well and scoring goals when necessary. But the defense still has holes.
Manchester United probable lineup
Manchester United were recently eliminated from the Carabao Cup also known as the EFL CUP, they lost against West Ham 0-1 at home, but a week before they won against West Ham 2-1 on the road. Players are out of focus, the most recent game was also a loss to Aston Villa.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Manchester United’s head coach, is having serious problems using the squad’s potential. Criticism and threats of dismissal fell on him after the loss against Aston Villa.
This is the likely Manchester United’s lineup for this game: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Telles, McTominay, Fred, Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Villarreal probable lineup
The draw against Atalanta was surprising, the Italians scored the first goal of the game, but Villarreal’s defense stopped most of the attacks until the home team could score goals in the 39th and 73rd minutes, but Atalanta tied the game when the Spanish felt confident of the victory at home.
Unai Emery, Villarreal’s head coach, is taking advantage of the good moment the team is going through, a few days ago Villarreal drew against Real Madrid in La Liga. This game against Manchester United will be one more test for them.
This is the likely Villarreal’s lineup for this game: Rulli; Foyth, Albiol, Torres, A. Moreno; Parejo, Capoue, Trigueros; Danjuma, Alcacer, Pino.
