How Manchester United could line up against Galatasaray

How Man United could line up against Galatasaray

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag must make do without the suspended Marcus Rashford for Wednesday's Champions League Group A clash with Galatasaray at Rams Park.

The England international received a controversial red card for stamping on Copenhagen's Elias Jelert in a 4-3 loss to the Danish side two weeks ago, and he joins the exiled Jadon Sancho in watching on from home.

The Red Devils' injury crisis remains alive and well too, as all of Lisandro Martinez (foot), Casemiro (thigh), Amad Diallo (knee), Mason Mount (calf), Jonny Evans (thigh), Christian Eriksen (knee) and Tyrell Malacia (knee) are unavailable to Ten Hag at present.

In addition, Antony was absent for Sunday's 3-0 win over Everton alongside Rasmus Hojlund, who sat out that success due to the thigh concern he picked up against Luton Town.

Ten Hag has confirmed that the Danish attacker will be fit to lead the line here, though, meaning that he should Anthony Martial to the bench despite the Frenchman's morale-boosting goal at Goodison Park.

Fresh from scoring one of the greatest goals the Premier League has ever seen, Alejandro Garnacho is sure to keep his place in the final third alongside Bruno Fernandes, while Facundo Pellistri may be called upon if Antony is spared, but the Brazilian will be in the squad and should begin the match if fit enough.

Further back, Kobbie Mainoo made an impression on his full Premier League debut against Everton, but the experience of Sofyan Amrabat may now be preferred alongside Scott McTominay in midfield.

Luke Shaw should also be fit enough to link arms with Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Andre Onana in the backline once more following his return from injury, but one rearguard change could see Aaron Wan-Bissaka come in for Diogo Dalot.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; McTominay, Amrabat; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
