How Manchester United could line up against Leeds United

How Man United could line up against Leeds

Manchester United will remain without the suspended Casemiro for Sunday's Premier League clash with Leeds United at Elland Road.

The Brazil international is serving the second of a three-game domestic ban, and his regular midfield partner Christian Eriksen is also on the long road to recovery from an ankle injury.

With Donny van de Beek still out for the long-term and Scott McTominay unlikely to be ready, Marcel Sabitzer can expect a second successive start alongside Fred in the visitors' engine room.

Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford saved Man United's bacon in a 2-2 draw with Leeds on Wednesday, and the former has put his name in the hat for a first Premier League start since October after his telling contribution off the bench.

Should Antony's leg problem render him unavailable, Sancho can feel confident of replacing Alejandro Garnacho on the right as Rashford shifts across to his favoured left flank.

Wout Weghorst endured another ineffective evening in midweek, but Anthony Martial's hip problem should guarantee another start for the towering Dutchman ahead of Bruno Fernandes.

Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is fighting a race against time to recover from illness, so Diogo Dalot may be pressed into back-to-back starts in an unchanged backline also featuring Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and David de Gea.

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