How Man Utd could line up against Wolves

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

Erik ten Hag is set to make a late call on whether to select Marcus Rashford in his Manchester United squad for Thursday's Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Rashford was left out of the Red Devils squad that beat Newport County 4-2 in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, having previously missed training due to illness following a controversial night out in Belfast.

Man United have since released a statement confirming that the 'internal disciplinary matter is now closed', and although Rashford was spotted returning to Carrington on Monday, it remains to be seen whether the forward will be involved against Wolves.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also a doubt after he missed the win at Newport with an unspecified injury, while Mason Mount (calf), Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof (both groin), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Sofyan Amrabat (international duty) all remain unavailable for selection.

Andre Onana has seen his underwhelming Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Cameroon come to an end, and the goalkeeper is expected to return to Ten Hag's side on Thursday, meaning that Altay Bayindir – who made his Red Devils debut against Newport – is set to drop back down to the substitutes' bench.

Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans are set to battle with Raphael Varane for a start at centre-back alongside Lisandro Martinez, while in midfield, Ten Hag could be tempted to stick with Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, the latter of whom scored his first senior goal in the win against Newport.

The potential absence of Rashford will likely see Alejandro Garnacho and Antony retain their places on the flanks, while captain Bruno Fernandes is expected to operate in the number 10 role behind central striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Mainoo, Casemiro; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
