Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has predicted that Matheus Cunha will return to the starting lineup against Liverpool after missing the Brentford match with a sore hip flexor. The MUTV pundit expects Michael Carrick to make just one change from the side that secured a 2-1 victory on Monday. According to Manutd.com.
Brown Tips Cunha Return as United Target Liverpool Double
Brown believes Matheus Cunha will replace Amad in the only alteration to Carrick’s XI, with the Brazilian recovering from the hip flexor injury that ruled him out of Monday’s 2-1 victory over Brentford. The former defender expects United to secure a clean sheet through goalkeeper Senne Lammens in this crucial encounter.
The pundit has backed Benjamin Sesko to open the scoring and add to his 10th Premier League goal of the season, which he netted against Brentford. Brown predicts a 2-0 victory for United as they bid to register a double over Arne Slot’s side this campaign.
Brown has selected Harry Maguire as his man of the match pick, with the defender having scored that memorable winner at Anfield back in October. The former United number six expects Maguire to help neutralise a Liverpool attack that will be without key forwards Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike.
Victory would confirm United’s anticipated return to the UEFA Champions League next term and cement a top-five finish in their penultimate home game of the campaign. Brown, who scored against Liverpool in a memorable 3-0 victory back in 2008, has made his selections for the popular United Predictions game.
