Ruben Amorim starts work at Man United this month, so what could his strongest starting XI look like?
Amorim was appointed as United's head coach last week and must serve a notice period at Sporting Lisbon before touching down in Manchester during the international break.
With that in mind, we asked our writers to pick the line-up they believe is Amorim's strongest and their answers suggest there are tough decisions to make on some senior players.The timing of Leny Yoro's return to full fitness could turn out to be perfect. United have to aim to have him available for the Ipswich game because he has to be a starter in Amorim's defensive trident.
Yoro, De Ligt and Martinez are the strongest back three on paper, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Maguire force his way into the side, which might be at the expense of De Ligt. The former United captain was brilliant when playing in a back three for England and that experience will be invaluable. We've become so accustomed to United playing a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 that Amorim's formation will make matchdays fascinating, as there will be 'big players' named on the bench.United's strongest back three under Amorim could be fairly easy to predict. Yoro was signed as a player with an enormous amount of potential and the Reds will be hoping he can hit the ground running once he recovers from his injury.
