Manchester United face Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday, September 6, with Carrick’s side seeking another strong league performance after the 5-2 win over Ipswich Town. The Manchester United Predicted Lineup points to a 4-2-3-1, with Senne Lammens retaining the gloves.
Lammens should start behind a back four of Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martínez and Luke Shaw. That group offers Carrick experience and recovery pace, although United need sharper protection after conceding twice against Ipswich and losing 2-0 at Hull. Maguire’s aerial strength could matter against Everton’s directness, while Shaw and Dalot provide width from deeper areas.
In midfield, Youri Tielemans should keep his place beside Kobbie Mainoo. Tielemans made his debut against Ipswich and helped United circulate possession with more control, while Mainoo can bring energy when the side needs to break lines. Manchester United’s injury list remains significant, with Matthijs de Ligt, Amad Diallo, Carlos Baleba, Tom Heaton and Manuel Ugarte unavailable, according to the latest team news. Mount remains absent too.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup and attacking plan
The front four should remain unchanged. Bryan Mbeumo can start from the right after scoring against Ipswich, Bruno Fernandes should operate centrally, and Marcus Rashford can attack from the left after impressing on his first United start in almost two years. Up front, Matheus Cunha gives United a mobile focal point who can drop into midfield before spinning behind the centre-backs.
Fernandes arrives in lively form. He scored a hat-trick against Ipswich, added an assist and drove United through a frantic second half, while United produced 33 shots and 11 on target. That display should encourage Carrick to trust the same attacking framework, with Everton likely to test United’s defensive concentration.

United’s recent results show why Carrick may prefer continuity. The Hull defeat exposed problems without the ball, yet Ipswich brought a 5-2 response and a better attacking rhythm. Rashford, Mbeumo and Cunha can stretch Everton, while Fernandes can find pockets between midfield and defence.
Everton remain unbeaten across their last five matches, so United cannot expect an easy afternoon. Still, the personnel available strongly supports another 4-2-3-1, with the midfield pairing protecting the centre and the attacking trio supporting Cunha.
