Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up in Friday's pre-season clash with Melbourne Victory.

Tyrell Malacia will hope to make his full debut for Manchester United in Friday's pre-season friendly with Australian outfit Melbourne Victory.

The club's only summer arrival featured off the bench against Liverpool on Tuesday, with the Red Devils opening their pre-season with a 4-0 victory over their Premier League rivals in Thailand.

Malacia could replace Luke Shaw in the starting XI for this match, and it is likely that head coach Erik ten Hag will shuffle his pack, with Donny van de Beek and Anthony Elanga also set to come into the side.

Club captain Harry Maguire did not feature against Liverpool due to a slight knock, but he is expected to be in the starting XI on Friday, potentially alongside Raphael Varane in the middle.

Anthony Martial, who was on the scoresheet in a fine first-half display against Liverpool, might again get the nod through the middle due to the ongoing absence of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bruno Fernandes should also retain his spot, with appearances for the likes of Facundo Pellistri, Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal likely to come from the bench.

David de Gea picked up a slight knock against Liverpool and could now be replaced between the sticks by Tom Heaton, while Hannibal Mejbri, Ethan Laird and Alejandro Garnacho will be hoping to earn minutes, having not featured against the Reds last time out.

There will be no Axel Tuanzebe for the 20-time English champions, though, with the centre-back, who is said to be available for transfer, not making the trip to Australia due to a personal issue.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Heaton; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Malacia; Van de Beek, Fred, Fernandes; Elanga, Martial, Sancho
