Senne Lammens starts in goal for the Mancunian giants. There is a change in the back three with Leny Yoro making way for Harry Maguire. Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw will accompany him.
Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot continue in the right and left wing-back positions.
In midfield, Casemiro features as the holding midfielder ahead of Manuel Ugarte. Club captain Bruno Fernandes starts as the central midfielder for the Red Devils.
Further forward, Amorim has made one change to the attack. Mason Mount and Bryan Mbeumo start as the attacking midfielders, but Benjamin Sesko has been dropped.
Matheus Cunha will lead the line for the Red Devils in the derby.
Confirmed Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1): Lammens; De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Mount; Cunha.
