Lausanne line up gives strongest hint yet as to who will start up front vs Spurs

Manchester United played a closed-door friendly against Ineos sister club Lausanne-Sport on Friday to build fitness ahead of their match against Tottenham Hotspur. Amad missed the match entirely, indicating his return from injury may be delayed, while Carlos Baleba and Matthijs de Ligt both featured to sharpen their match readiness.

Writer Daniel Onguko argues that Amad's absence complicates manager Michael Carrick's attacking setup following a poor start of five points from five matches. With Amad likely sidelined, the writer urges Carrick to start Shea Lacey on the right wing and deploy Bryan Mbeumo as striker alongside Matheus Cunha.
