Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Sunday's Manchester derby with Manchester City in the Premier League.

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford could return to the starting lineup for Sunday's Manchester derby with Manchester City at the Etihad.

The 24-year-old could not join up with the England squad due to a muscular problem, but Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he is back in training and will be in contention to start.

Cristiano Ronaldo may therefore have to settle for a place on the bench again, while Anthony Martial is edging closer to his own comeback from an Achilles injury.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Martin Dubravka, Brandon Williams and Donny van de Beek are further injury concerns for the visitors, but none of the quartet would have started at the Etihad anyway.

Centre-back Harry Maguire also returned from England duty with a tight hamstring and is out of the derby, but Ten Hag was always going to continue with the Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez partnership here.

Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia are not expected to be in any danger of losing their places out wide, and Ten Hag is facing another midfield selection dilemma with Casemiro and Scott McTominay.

Fans have been calling for Casemiro to get the nod this weekend after his impressive exploits for Brazil, and the ex-Real Madrid man may finally return to the first XI alongside Christian Eriksen.

Antony, Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes are all indispensable in the final third and should be given the nod alongside Rashford, unless Ten Hag opts to sacrifice an attacker for another midfielder.

Man United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford
