Ruben Amorim could have to contend with a defensive injury crisis when he takes charge of Manchester United for the first time this week.
The 39-year-old will be in the dugout when United travel to face Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon, but could be without a handful of first-team defenders for the clash.
Victor Lindelof was the latest star to suffer an injury scare when he limped off for Sweden over the weekend, while Lisandro Martinez withdrew from Argentina duty due to a back issue. Leny Yoro is still yet to play a competitive match for the club since his pre-season injury, while Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire are both still sidelined as well.
It means Amorim might only have Matthijs de Ligt and Jonny Evans available to start at Portman Road this weekend, and this is how they could line up if that is the case:
