Key Absences for Manchester United and Liverpool in Premier League Clash
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa, signed from Juventus, also misses out. Although registered on time, manager Arne Slot decided not to include him in the squad. Slot hinted that while Chiesa trained with the team, it was too early for him to make his debut. Liverpool, having started the season strongly, will likely field an unchanged lineup as they look to extend their winning streak.
Erik ten Hag has made some adjustments to his lineup after their recent loss to Brighton, as Manchester United seeks to regain their footing. The team has had a mixed start to the season, and another defeat could increase pressure on the Dutch manager. Ugarte’s absence, although not expected to start, may impact the team’s depth in the midfield.
On the Liverpool side, Federico Chiesa is another high-profile player who won’t be making an appearance. The Italian forward, who transferred from Juventus, was registered in time but will not feature today. Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed that it was too soon for Chiesa to be involved in such a crucial match, opting to keep the squad largely unchanged after a strong start to the season.
Liverpool has enjoyed an unbeaten run so far, with back-to-back victories over Ipswich and Brentford. Slot’s decision to delay Chiesa’s debut suggests confidence in the existing squad’s ability to continue their winning streak. Today’s match at Old Trafford will be a significant test for both teams, each looking to assert their dominance early in the season.
Despite the absence of key new signings, Manchester United and Liverpool are set for an intense showdown at Old Trafford, with both teams eager to make a statement in this early-season clash.
“Both teams will have to rely on their current squads as new signings Manuel Ugarte and Federico Chiesa are unavailable for today’s match.”
