Unitedites are expected to get their first glimpse of new signing Cameron Archer while a number of the club’s promising young players could be handed chances to impress, with Gus Hamer cup-tied after playing for Coventry City in their first-round defeat at AFC Wimbledon.
With one eye on Saturday’s crunch clash with Everton at Bramall Lane, boss Paul Heckingbottom is expected to ring the changes for the cup clash - so we tasked our man with stepping into his shoes and selecting the side he would send out to face the Imps at Bramall Lane. Do you agree with his selections?
9. Louie Marsh
One of the most exciting youngsters in the United academy, Marsh has been banging in goals for fun for the U21s so far this season but has been forced to watch from the bench in the seniors and wait for his time. Surely it comes now, ahead of a potential loan deal in the last few days of the window
10. Cameron Archer
United’s newest arrival has undergone a full pre-season and had a few minutes off the bench for Aston Villa but nothing helps bed players into their new surroundings quite like first-team football and surely Archer has to start and get his first experience of Bramall Lane as a Blades player
11. Oli McBurnie
Back from injury against City and to great effect, more first-team minutes against the League One side can only help as United look to get him back up to full speed as quickly as possible
