Rashford and Garnacho have been left out of the Man Utd squad by Amorim as Guardiola keeps us all guessing

Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim has left Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of his squad for Sunday’s Manchester derby.

The Red Devils Face Man City at the Etihad in the Premier League and both managers have made some big decisions.

Starting with Amorim, Rashford and Garnacho were both left out of the squad. There have been some reports of the latter leaking team information to aggregators, although these reports are not particularly reliable.

Rashford, meanwhile, has been criticized for his performances this season and despite scoring the first goal of the Amorim era, he has been very poor under the Portuguese coach.

Their absence means another start for in-form winger Amad Diallo, with Antony and Joshua Zirkzee on the bench.

Amad will take one of the positions behind striker Rasmus Hojlund, while it is unclear where Mason Mount or Bruno Fernandes will start, with one expected in central midfield and the other behind Hojlund.

Harry Maguire is back in the starting line-up and will form a back three alongside Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt, which should push Noussair Mazraoui to right-back. Diogo Dalot should start on the left.

Maguire will make his 250th Premier League appearance at the Etihad.

Manuel Ugarte is someone whose position is beyond doubt; He will play in the middle of the park.

As for Man City, Pep Guardiola’s starting XI looks like this: Ederson; Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol; Ilkay Gündogan, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Matheus Nunes, Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku; Erling Haaland.

We can only confirm that Haaland will play up front.

Will Bernardo become a left-back? Are he and Nunes the fullbacks? Maybe it’s Foden and Doku? What if Gündogan was a central defender and Gvardiol was a left-back? What then?

Guardiola loves it when we guess and he certainly did that this afternoon.
