1. GK: Andre Onana

A steady performer in the Premier League and still the first-choice in goal. Photo: Getty Images

2. RB: Diogo Dalot

Playing the best football of his club career and a contender for Player of the Season. Photo: Manchester United via Getty Images

3. CB: Raphael Varane

When he’s fit he has to play. Still the best centre-back at the club. Photo: Getty Images

4. CB: Harry Maguire

Victor Lindelof started ahead of him against Liverpool but Maguire should return against Brentford. Photo: Getty Images

5. LB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Impressive on his return from injury against Liverpool and should keep his role this weekend. Photo: Getty Images

6. DM: Kobbie Mainoo

His long-term role could be at the base of the United midfield and he could start there amid Casemiro’s latest injury setback Photo: Manchester United via Getty Images

7. CM: Bruno Fernandes

A certainty to start whenever he is fit. He could drop into a deeper role against Brentford with someone else used in the attacking berth. Photo: Manchester United via Getty Images

8. CM: Scott McTominay

At his best when he is given licence to attack. After a goal and an assist in the Liverpool win, he could place in the No.10 role. Photo: Getty Images

9. RW: Alejandro Garnacho

Played through injury and still shone in the FA Cup quarter-final win. He should keep his place on the right. Photo: Getty Images

10. ST: Rasmus Hojlund

He’s still finding his feet after his recent injury lay-off but is the only option to start through the middle. Photo: Manchester United via Getty Images

11. LW: Marcus Rashford

Finally found the back of the net at the third time of asking against Liverpool. At his best playing on the left wing. Photo: Getty Images
