Manchester United can be with out their captain, Bruno Fernandes, for his or her journey to Istanbul to play Fenerbahce tomorrow.
Fernandes is suspended after being despatched off in opposition to FC Porto for 2 doubtful excessive deal with selections.
The pure substitute for the Portuguese could be Mason Mount, however he’s nonetheless out of competition and has not travelled.
Mount was absent after choosing up a head harm in opposition to Spurs, nevertheless it later emerged he additionally picked up a knock.
Ten Hag has a dilemma in Fernandes’ absence. He may change the formation to play a 4-4-2, with Joshua Zirkzee coming in alongside Rasmus Hojlund up entrance, however the Dutchman’s poor type to this point would make that one thing of a raffle.
We predict Christian Eriksen will play just a little additional ahead than regular, someplace between an 8 and 10, with Manuel Ugarte coming into holding midfield alongside Casemiro, who has been again in full coaching after choosing up a knock in opposition to Brentford on Saturday.
Kobbie Mainoo is out injured and each Toby Collyer and Dan Gore have additionally been absent with knocks.
In opposition to Brentford, Ten Hag reversed the wingers, with Marcus Rashford enjoying on the best and Alejandro Garnacho on the left. This appeared to work fairly effectively, so he may roll that cube once more tomorrow.
Antony and Amad are different choices on the flanks.
In defence, Ten Hag has extra issues. Jonny Evans has picked up a knock and isn’t on the aircraft. Tyrell Malacia is again in full coaching however not match prepared. Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro are each again on the grass however not even in group coaching but.
Harry Maguire can also be nonetheless out, leaving Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt – who has recovered from the pinnacle harm sustained in opposition to the Bees, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof as the one match senior defenders.
Younger Harry Amass and Habeeb Ogunneye are included within the squad however we don’t assume both of them will begin the sport except there are extra health points among the many 5 senior males.
The most certainly again 4 is Mazraoui – De Ligt – Martinez – Dalot.
Andre Onana will in all probability be in purpose, though given his information of the Turkish sport, Altay Bayindir may simply be given a uncommon 90 minutes.
Ethan Wheatley and Tom Heaton make up the travelling squad however are unlikely to begin.
With all that in thoughts, right here is our predicted XI for the sport:
