Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay will return when Manchester United and Tottenham face off at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Manchester United will hope to continue the recent unbeaten run when they play hosts to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. And Erik ten Hag has no new roster issues to deal with ahead of his side’s latest fixture.
Anthony Martial remains the major absentee for Manchester United due to a hip injury. And ten Hag continues to sweat over the availability of Christian Eriksen. The Danish midfielder missed out against Newcastle United due to an illness, and it is unclear if he will be fit to take on former club Brentford.
Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Donny van de Beek remain on the sidelines. But there is some good news, with Scott McTominay available again after serving a one-match suspension.
Meanwhile, ten Hag spoke about Martial, Eriksen and McTominay during his pre-match press conference. The Manchester United boss also provided an update on Tuanzebe and Williams.
“Anthony Martial is not available. [With Christian] Eriksen, we have to wait. He was just on the pitch. We have to see how he recovers from that and then we will make a decision tomorrow. It’s good to have Scott back. We are happy with that.”
“I see good progress with Brandon Williams. He returned on the pitch, individual-based. Axel is still in, working inside so he’s not back on the pitch. I think it will be difficult for Axel to return before Christmas. Brandon, [I’m] probably not talking about [him being] back in the squad for the games, but probably in the training for the team training.”
The defensive unit will unlikely see a change on Wednesday, with Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw continuing as the full-backs. Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez will form the central defensive pairing, with David de Gea continuing between the sticks.
McTominay should replace Fred in the double pivot, with the Brazilian international sub-par against Newcastle United. The Scottish international will line up alongside Casemiro in the middle of the park.
Bruno Fernandes will be the most advanced midfielder for Manchester United, hoping to improve after some underwhelming displays. Marcus Rashford should replace Jadon Sancho on the left flank, with Antony continuing on the right wing.
Rashford was under the weather on Sunday, which is why he missed out on a place in the starting lineup. Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo will spearhead the Manchester United attack against Brentford on Wednesday.
Predicted Manchester United XI: de Gea; Dalot, Martinez, Varane, Malacia; McTominay, Casemiro; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford
