Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round clash with Newport County.

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag will be boosted by the return of two defenders for Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round clash with Newport County at Rodney Parade.

Both Harry Maguire (groin) and Luke Shaw (unspecified) have returned to full team training this week, and the duo took part in a behind-closed-doors defeat to Burnley ahead of Sunday's trip to Wales.

However, Africa Cup of Nations-competing Andre Onana and Sofyan Amrabat are unavailable, as are Anthony Martial (groin), Mason Mount (calf), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Victor Lindelof (groin).

With Onana not available to guard the posts, Altay Bayindir will finally be baptised in a Man United shirt for the fourth-round fixture, but Jonny Evans and Marcus Rashford have emerged as fresh illness doubts.

The Dutchman will not take Newport lightly, but there should be scope for Willy Kambwala to make an appearance in the heart of the backline, potentially alongside the experienced Raphael Varane if Maguire is given more time to get up to speed.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot are nailed-on to start at full-back, while Kobbie Mainoo's spot in midfield is not up for debate either, but who partners the teenage starlet is another question entirely.

Christian Eriksen was given the nod against Tottenham Hotspur in the Red Devils' last league outing, where Casemiro was back on the bench, but Scott McTominay was named in the XI against Wigan Athletic and could reprise his role on Sunday.

The trip to Newport should also offer Antony an ample opportunity to replenish his confidence levels, and the Brazilian is in line to join Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund in the final third, as Facundo Pellistri closes in on a switch to Granada.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Bayindir; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Kambwala, Dalot; Mainoo, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
