Manchester United XI vs Chelsea: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has opted against significant rotation before Europa League final

Ruben Amorim has named a strong side as Manchester United face Chelsea in the Premier League tonight.

Before their semi-final second leg against Athletic Club, Amorim decided to field a second-string side in the 4-3 defeat by Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Captain Bruno Fernandes - usually an ever-present in the United starting XI - was an unused substitute, while Noussair Mazraoui was left out of the matchday squad entirely.

That gave youngsters Tyler Fredricson, Harry Amass and Chido Obi a chance to impress, but none of the academy trio could stop the Red Devils falling to yet another Premier League defeat.

Amorim has gone for a different approach this time, with the likes of Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Amad Diallo and Casemiro all starting at Stamford Bridge.

Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro are the injury worries in the central defensive trident, while Diogo Dalot has not featured since the 1-0 home defeat by Wolves with an ankle issue. All three are left out of the squad here.

Lisandro Martinez and Ayden Heaven are longer-term absentees, while Joshua Zirkzee will not feature again this season after he suffered a thigh problem last month.

Starting XI: Onana; Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Diallo, Mount, Hojlund

Subs: Bayindir, Amass, Fredricson, Heaven, Collyer, Eriksen, Mainoo, Ugarte, Garnacho

Time and date: 8.15pm BST on Friday May 16, 2025

Venue: Stamford Bridge, London
