Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Leeds United.

Manchester United will be without the suspended Casemiro for Wednesday's Premier League encounter with Leeds United at Old Trafford.

The Brazil international was given a straight red card for grabbing Crystal Palace's Will Hughes by the throat at the weekend, incurring a three-match suspension in the process.

Erik ten Hag must also work around the absences of the injured Antony, Donny van de Beek, Christian Eriksen and Anthony Martial, while Scott McTominay has not recovered yet either.

Jack Butland is back in the fold after being ineligible to face his parent club on Saturday, but David de Gea remains untroubled in goal and should be protected by Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez once again.

Luke Shaw can also expect to hold his place on the left, but Diogo Dalot is fit again after a hamstring injury and is in contention to come in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the opposite side of the backline.

Casemiro's absence opens the door for Bayern Munich loanee Marcel Sabitzer to make his first start for Man United - most likely alongside Fred unless McTominay can prove his fitness in time.

Fresh from scoring his 10th Premier League goal of the season and 19th in all tournaments, Marcus Rashford will retain his place up top with Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst, while Antony's absence could see Jadon Sancho make his first start since October.

Man United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Sabitzer, Fred; Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
