Seamus Coleman Returns as Everton Announce Line-up for Man Utd Clash
Everton is set to face Manchester United with notable changes in their line-up, including the return of captain Seamus Coleman. This marks Coleman’s first Premier League start of the season after an impactful international break.
Seamus Coleman Returns for Everton
The experienced right-back, aged 37, has recently played two matches for the Republic of Ireland. During this international period, Ireland secured a spot in the World Cup play-offs by defeating both Portugal and Hungary. This performance has contributed to Coleman’s selection for the starting XI against Manchester United.
Line-up Changes
Coleman is the only alteration from the team that achieved victory over Fulham prior to the international break. His inclusion necessitates adjustments in other positions:
- Tim Iroegbunam has been dropped to make way for Coleman.
- James Garner shifts back from right back to midfield, partnering with Idrissa Gueye.
- Thierno Barry retains his position in the starting line-up, despite not yet scoring for Everton.
Barry’s performances, including a notable showing against Fulham, have shown promise. Although he missed a significant chance previously, his overall contribution has been recognized by fans and coaching staff alike.
