Erik ten Hag will have to make at least one change to his line up when Manchester United return to Premier League action against Aston Villa this weekend.
Bruno Fernandes will miss the trip to Villa Park through suspension after he was shown a straight red card in the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday afternoon, while Kobbie Mainoo is also a doubt after he limped off with an injury in the same match.
Club captain Fernandes could still feature when United face FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night, but it might need to be a new-look midfield for their next few Premier League encounters.
Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee will both be vying for the attacking midfield berth in the side, while Casemiro and Christian Eriksen will be competing to partner Manuel Ugarte in central midfield.
Here is how we think United should line up with Fernandes and Mainoo:
