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

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag could have Aaron Wan-Bissaka back at his disposal for the visit of Brentford to Old Trafford in Wednesday's Premier League match.

The right-back was a late absentee from the weekend's defeat to Newcastle United due to illness, where ankle victims Alejandro Garnacho, Christian Eriksen and Tom Heaton were also nowhere to be seen.

The trio will miss out again here alongside Donny van de Beek (knee) and the suspended Casemiro, who serves the third and penultimate game of his four-match domestic ban this week.

Neither Raphael Varane nor Lisandro Martinez completed the full 90 at St James' Park, but the duo should be in no danger of losing their spots in front of David de Gea.

However, Wan-Bissaka's potential return to fitness could force Diogo Dalot out of the XI, while the fresh legs of Tyrell Malacia should also be preferred to Luke Shaw.

Despite finding the net for fun in Scotland colours during the international break, Scott McTominay was far less effective at the weekend, so Fred could now earn a recall alongside Marcel Sabitzer.

Bruno Fernandes also flattered to deceive against Newcastle, but the Portuguese should wear the captain's armband from the first whistle, as Marcus Rashford aims to build on his 18 Old Trafford goals from the left flank.

Jadon Sancho is a strong candidate to replace Antony, though, while Anthony Martial has now fully recovered from a hip injury and will push to come in for Wout Weghorst, who endured another chastening afternoon on Sunday.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Sabitzer, Fred; Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
