CM: Nemanja Matic

Manchester United have done well in the Champions League and they'll be hoping to end the group stages on a high note. With Fred and Scott McTominay having played against both Arsenal and Crystal Palace, it is unlikely that either of them will start on Wednesday.

Because of that, Nemanja Matic is almost assured of a start against Young Boys. The Serbian has a lot of experience under his belt and given that Manchester United might play some young lads up front, it will definitely come in handy.


CM: Donny Van De Beek

The Dutchman struggled with game-time under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. But with the Norwegian gone, Donny Van De Beek does have the chance to turn things around.

It is likely that he might start as a central midfielder and as the game progresses, he might be shifted to a more attacking role. Donny Van De Beek is capable of playing in multiple positions and under new Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick, his versatility will surely be of great use.


RAM: Amad Diallo

Amad Diallo was expected to go out on loan in the summer transfer window but an injury in the window hampered any temporary move. The young Ivorian is a dynamic forward and has a bright future ahead of himself.

With his pace, dribbling skills and technical abilities, Amad Diallo can surely cause a lot of problems. The former Atalanta attacker is likely to start ahead of the aging Juan Mata in an inward winger role. Whether he manages to play the entire 90 minutes or not remains a question.


LAM: Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho finally found his feet against Villarreal in the Champions League recently. The Englishman is a very talented attacker but has struggled to settle at Manchester United.

Ralf Rangnick's direct and attacking game-play will certainly help Sancho's cause given how he likes to play. The English winger was subbed off at the hour mark against Crystal Palace at the weekend, which might be an indication that he will start against Young Boys in the Champions League.

Given the opportunity, Sancho should have a major impact in this fixture.
