There are six players whom manager Ruben Amorim considers irreplaceable in Manchester United's lineup for this season.
Although Manchester United suffered a 0-1 defeat in their Premier League opener against Arsenal, the team still showed several positives at Old Trafford. Some United players have demonstrated to Ruben Amorim that the squad is capable of significant progress this season.
The Red Devils' promising display in the loss to Arsenal could quickly be forgotten if they fail to win their next two matches, increasing the pressure on the team. Nevertheless, Amorim should aim to maintain this strong form by sticking with the same lineup for the Fulham match.

Express Sport has identified six players likely guaranteed a starting spot for the upcoming away game at Craven Cottage this Sunday.
Leny Yoro appears to be on his way to becoming one of the world's top center-backs. At just 20 years old, Yoro has already proven himself as a player well-suited to the Premier League. He excels in aerial duels and played a key role in United's impressive defensive performance against Arsenal, solidifying his place in the starting eleven.
Matthijs de Ligt delivered what could be considered his best performance yet in a Manchester United shirt. The Dutch defender was solid in tackles and contributed significantly to the attack by confidently bringing the ball forward. At present, he fully deserves to start ahead of Harry Maguire.

Patrick Dorgu continues to show great promise on the left flank. One of the highlights was his powerful shot that struck the post—a moment United fans may see more often in the future. He is preparing for a big season and is set to be the main choice for most Premier League matches.
Mason Mount might be the one to make way when Benjamin Sesko reaches peak form, but after an impressive display against Arsenal, the Englishman still deserves a place in the starting lineup. He is in his best physical condition since joining United and is gradually proving his worth.

Bryan Mbeumo is clearly a vital part of United's attacking play and enjoyed a memorable debut, even though he didn't score. If Sesko isn't ready to start against Fulham, Mbeumo could be moved to the central forward position, allowing Mount to start as well.
Matheus Cunha was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch last Sunday. It's hard to imagine United's attack without Cunha at its core. He is certain to be included in the starting lineup, and as Amorim helps the team become more consistent in front of goal, Cunha will remain an essential figure for the Red Devils.
In the next round, when United visit Fulham, these names will remain the key figures in the team's tactics.
