Manchester United will likely 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 sort out choices.
The pure substitute for the Portuguese can be Mason Mount, however he’s nonetheless out of competition and has not travelled.
Mount was absent after selecting up a head harm in opposition to Spurs, nonetheless it later emerged he additionally picked up a knock.
Ten Hag has a dilemma in Fernandes’ absence. He might 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 date would make that one thing of a raffle.
We expect 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 selecting 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 taking part in on the correct and Alejandro Garnacho on the left. This appeared to work fairly properly, so he would possibly 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 airplane. 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 workforce 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 most likely be in objective, though given his data of the Turkish sport, Altay Bayindir would possibly simply be given a uncommon 90 minutes.
Ethan Wheatley and Tom Heaton make up the travelling squad however are unlikely to start out.
With all that in thoughts, right here is our predicted XI for the sport:
