Erik ten Hag will need to get his Manchester United selection spot on if they are to bounce back against FC Porto and ease the mounting pressure on his position.
The Dutchman has come under heavy criticism after United's dismal 3-0 defeat to Tottenham at the weekend and knows huge improvement in terms of performances as well as results are required to keep him in a job.
United will have both Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire available for the clash on Thursday night, while Bruno Fernandes could keep his place in midfield amid Mason Mount’s injury absence.
Ten Hag could look to change formation to a 4-2-2-2 to give his side the best chance of winning the match, while he could also freshen up his line up by giving Rasmus Hojlund a first start of the season.
Here is how we think United should line up against Porto:
