Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Thursday's Europa League clash with Rangers.

Manchester United are set to be without at least four players for Thursday's Europa League clash with Rangers at Old Trafford.

Luke Shaw (calf), Mason Mount (thigh), Victor Lindelof (unspecified) and Jonny Evans (muscle) all remain sidelined as they continue to recover from injury.

Marcus Rashford has missed Man United's last nine matches since featuring in a 2-1 Europa League win at Viktoria Plzen on December 12, and the attacker is set to remain away from Ruben Amorim's side amidst uncertainty over his future, while Antony is also unlikely to feature as he is reportedly close to joining Real Betis on loan.

Despite making his fourth error leading to a goal this season in Man United's 3-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League last weekend, goalkeeper Andre Onana is poised to retain his spot between the sticks, although Altay Bayindir will be pushing for a recall.

Lisandro Martinez watched on as an unused substitute against Brighton and could therefore be recalled to Amorim's back three on Thursday, with either Matthijs de Ligt or Leny Yoro potentially making way as Harry Maguire continues at the heart of the defence.

Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot are expected to continue as wing-backs, while Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Toby Collyer will all be hoping to force their way into centre-midfield ahead of Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo.

Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot with Man United's only shot on target against Brighton and he could make his 50th Europa League appearances in an advanced role alongside Amad Diallo, while Rasmus Hojlund will be looking to replace Joshua Zirkzee up front.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Eriksen, Ugarte, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund
