How Manchester United could line up against West Ham United

How Man United could line up against West Ham

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick still has a few concerns to assess before the visit of West Ham United to Old Trafford for Saturday's Premier League clash.

Scott McTominay is expected to be fine despite coming off with a back issue against Brentford, but Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani are set to miss out once again alongside Paul Pogba after picking up issues in training.

Eric Bailly prepares for the Africa Cup of Nations knockout rounds with Ivory Coast, and Rangnick has also conceded that Aaron Wan-Bissaka will not recover from illness in time for this game.

Alex Telles and Diogo Dalot can therefore expect to hold their places in the backline, where Harry Maguire will certainly expect to come back in for Victor Lindelof in the heart of defence after the Swede's home was burgled during the Brentford contest.

Should McTominay shake off his back problem in time for the weekend, the Scotland international ought to take his place in the middle alongside Fred once more.

Anthony Elanga will expect to earn another deserved start following his opener against Brentford, potentially forcing fellow goalscorer Marcus Rashford to try to make an impact from the bench.

Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood are sure to retain their spots in the attack, with Cristiano Ronaldo set to spearhead the charge despite his sour reaction to being substituted in midweek.

Man United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Greenwood, Fernandes, Elanga; Ronaldo
