Erik ten Hag will not want to tinker with a winning team too much

The Portuguese star has been trying to secure a move from Old Trafford all summer – but a deadline day exit now looks increasingly unlikely after he was allegedly spotted earlier on the team bus travelling to the King Power.

Meanwhile, it looks unlikely that £85.5 million new boy Antony, who has arrived from Ajax, will feature.

This is due to Antony needing both a visa and a work permit having made the switch from Ajax.

David De Gea will continue in goal for Erik ten Hag’s side after bouncing back from his Brentford nightmare.

The Dutch boss is also unlikely to want to change a winning formula in defence.

That means Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia are nailed on to retain their places.

Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes have proved their worth so far and are likely to play.

Cristiano Ronaldo may start in attack for the Red Devils

But the match could see new £70million anchorman Casemiro make his full debut after coming off the bench in the win at Southampton.

As for the attack, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford are sure to lead the way after impressing against the Saints.

Anthony Elanga is available and looks set to continue should Antony be unavailable, but Anthony Martial is still a doubt due to his Achilles problem.

But United have plenty of other options if they want to change things up.

With midweek fixtures coming thick and fast, Ten Hag could decide to shake things up entirely.
