Man United predicted starting line-up vs Brighton – Harry Maguire and Alejandro Garnacho calls made

Manager Erik ten Hag facing a number of selection problems. Injuries mean under-fire Harry Maguire could partner Victor Lindelof in defence. Club issues with Antony and Jadon Sancho open up a starting spot in attack.

There isalot to consider when choosing a Manchester United squad,far beyond what a manager would normally consider when choosinga starting XI.

Antony cannot return from Brazil due to assault allegations and Jadon Sancho publicly fell out with Eric ten Hag after the losstoArsenal, he was not calm at Old Trafford.

ManUtd’skeyplayers also sufferedcountlessinjuries. Many players could return against Brighton onSaturday, but many question marks remain.

This is the team that Ten Hag could choose to help Man Utd win against Brighton.

Manchester United predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1)

GK: Andre Onana – There is also drama with Onana as he is set to start playing for Cameroon again, something Ten Hag and Man Utd were not expecting. There is no suggestion he’ll miss out here, however.

RB: Aaron Wan-Bisakka – With left-back becoming a problem position, the versatility of Diogo Dalot means Wan-Bisakka is not facing any stiff competition right now.

CB: Victor Lindelof – With Raphael Varane out injured, Lindelof is expected to come in. He may not be Varane but remains a very solid player United deemed worth keeping around in the summer.

CB: Harry Maguire – There is an outside chance Lisandro Martinez will recover in time, but if not, it’ll have to be Harry Maguire at centre-back. After a very tough international break, a solid performance over 90 minutes would do him the world of good.

LB: Diogo Dalot – With Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia out, Ten Hag may want to introduce Sergio Reguillon from the bench before he starts a game. That leaves only Dalot who can play in this role.

CM: Casemiro – He has not enjoyed the best start to the season, making the Brazilian another player who could do with a solid display.

CM: Christian Eriksen – There is a chance Mason Mount is fit enough to return while Sofyan Amrabat may also make the bench, but Eriksen should hold onto his spot here.

RW: Alejandro Garnacho – With Antony out, Sancho presumably not involved and Amad Diallo injured, Garnacho will likely be asked to perform on the right wing. His main competition is Facundo Pellistri.

AM: Bruno Fernandes – The one constant for Man Utd, Fernandes is seemingly incapable of getting injured and will be leading the way against Brighton.

LW: Marcus Rashford – Man Utd do have reason to be excited for this game as Rashford should get to play on the left, which is certainly his best position.

ST: Rasmus Hojlund – That’s because Hojlund could make his full debut as a starter. He came on against Arsenal and immediately improved the team.
