Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up in Tuesday's pre-season friendly with Liverpool.

Manchester United have taken a 31-man squad to Thailand for the clash with Liverpool, but there is no Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Portugal international absent due to a personal issue.

Ronaldo, who continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford, will not be involved on Tuesday, but there should be a debut for new signing Tyrell Malacia, with the Dutchman arriving from Feyenoord.

Anthony Martial will allegedly be given the chance to prove himself down the middle during pre-season, so the Frenchman could start in a front three with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford - two more players that will be looking to kick on after disappointing 2021-22 campaigns.

Donny van de Beek is back at the club following a loan spell at Everton and could potentially start in midfield with Fred and Bruno Fernandes, while Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane are likely to feature in the middle of the defence, with Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw in the full-back areas.

Alejandro Garnacho, Hannibal Mejbri and Facundo Pellistri are among the talented youngsters to make the trip to Thailand, and the trio should be involved at some stage, while the same can also be said for the likes of Amad Diallo, James Garner, Zidane Iqbal and Charlie Savage.

Ten Hag will make full use of his squad for the clash with Liverpool, potentially naming two different XIs for each half, but there are only two experienced goalkeepers in the squad in the shape of David de Gea and Tom Heaton.

Eric Bailly, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Axel Tuanzebe are among the players who could leave the club this summer, and it remains to be seen how much football the trio receive during the tour.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Shaw; Van de Beek, Fernandes, Fred; Sancho, Martial, Rashford
