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

Marcus Rashford's availability for Manchester United's FA Cup third-round clash with Arsenal on Sunday at the Emirates remains up in the air.

The English attacker was unavailable for the 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend due to illness, prior to which he returned from his brief exile as an unused substitute against Newcastle United.

While Rashford should have fought off his virus in time for the weekend, the 27-year-old's entourage are working to secure him a move away during the January transfer window and are said to have flown out to Italy to hold talks with AC Milan.

Regardless of Rashford's fitness levels or transfer situation, the winger should not be expected to start Sunday's game, where Amorim may see no need to make any outfield changes to the side that came agonisingly close to leaving Anfield with all three points.

Amad Diallo - fresh from signing a new contract after netting the leveller at Liverpool - would join Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund up front if that is the case, while Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot occupy the wing-back roles.

Kobbie Mainoo's future is more uncertain than Diallo's amid apparent interest from Chelsea, but the midfield protege ought to link arms with Manuel Ugarte in the centre of the park once more.

Harry Maguire was guilty of missing a golden chance to steal all three points for Man United at Liverpool, but that should not threaten his place alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez in the rearguard, where Altay Bayindir is confirmed to be replacing Andre Onana in goal.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Bayindir; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund
