Erik ten Hag has a difficult decision to make as Manchester United begin to welcome back some big names from injury
Erik ten Hag could build Manchester United's strongest starting lineup to date before the end of the year. United are expected to welcome some big names back from the treatment room in the coming weeks – just in time for the congested festive fixture schedule.
Casemiro, Mason Mount, Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia are all also out, but the aforementioned trio are more so game-changers. So, with that being said, the Manchester Evening News has drafted what could be Ten Hag's strongest starting lineup once the likes of Mainoo, Yoro and Shaw are given a clean bill of health.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana remains between the sticks. The 28-year-old goalkeeper, who joined United from Ajax in a deal worth £47.2m in July 2023, has had a rocky start to life at Old Trafford, but he hasn't been helped by injuries to key defenders. Midfield In the middle of the park, Ten Hag could trial Fernandes in a slightly deeper role alongside Kobbie Mainoo. While the skipper has been so reliable in a more advanced position since joining United, his introduction would certainly help stabilise the side in possession.
So... Here's what United's strongest starting lineup could look like on paper: Andre Onana; Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot; Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes; Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho; Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee.
