Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up in Tuesday's Premier League clash with Brentford.

Since this article was published, this game has been called off due to a coronavirus outbreak in the Manchester United squad. A new date for the game will be confirmed in due course.

Manchester United could again be without the services of a number of first-team players for Tuesday's Premier League clash with Brentford.

Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial will again be absent due to thigh and knee issues respectively, while Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani remain doubts despite both making excellent progress in their injury recoveries.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (knee), Nemanja Matic (illness) and Juan Mata (illness) could also again miss out, while the medical team will need to assess Victor Lindelof, who had to be substituted in Saturday's 1-0 win over Norwich City after suffering chest pains in the second half.

Interim head coach Ralf Rangnick insisted after the match that Lindelof was fine, but it would not be a surprise to see the Sweden international left out, with Eric Bailly in line to start.

There could also be a change in the final third of the field, with Mason Greenwood potentially coming in for Marcus Rashford, who struggled to make his mark at Carrow Road.

Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to be rested, though, with the Portugal international set to continue in attack, while Alex Telles could again keep out Luke Shaw at left-back due to his impressive form.

Rangnick could yet be without the services of some first-team players, though, amid suggestions that there has been a small coronavirus outbreak in the camp.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dalot, Bailly, Maguire, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo, Greenwood
