Manchester United will face off against Como at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium this Wednesday evening as they look to secure a win on the road in the UEFA Champions League. The Red Devils managed to secure a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Leeds United recently, which should give them some confidence going into this game.
Michael Carrick will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make one change to his first XI for this contest. Noussair Mazraoui could play from the start of this game, while Leny Yoro makes way for him and drops to the bench.
Senne Lammens will feature in between the sticks for the Red Devils after conceding one goal in his last appearance. Lisandro Martinez is a major doubt for this game, but could get the nod to play alongside Harry Maguire at the heart of the Man United backline as they focus on keeping a good shape when defending inside their half.
Noussair Mazraoui will try to impress as the right-back, while Diogo Dalot hopes to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent's half.
Leny Yoro will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Carlos Baleba will anchor the midfield alongside Andrey Santos as they focus on establishing their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park and engineer some inviting chances in the final third.
The gifted trio of Amad Diallo, Youri Tielemans and Bruno Fernandes will play just ahead of them as part of the Man United attack. All three of them need to be at the top of their game if the Red Devils are to secure a positive result in Italy this Wednesday evening.
Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Bryan Mbeumo will spearhead Man United's attack up top. He has to figure out a way to be a real menace on the offensive end of the field.
Matheus Cunha and Joshua Zirkzee will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if required.
