Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Tuesday's Champions League Group A clash with Bayern Munich.

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford is one of two new illness doubts for Tuesday's final Group A clash with Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.

The Englishman was unable to take part in last month's 3-3 draw versus Galatasaray due to suspension, which left Man United rooted to the foot of the section with just four points to their name, and both he and Anthony Martial have come down with sickness ahead of the pivotal contest.

In order to make it to the last 16, the Red Devils must prevail on Tuesday and pray for Copenhagen and Galatasaray's showdown to end level, otherwise another early continental exit could be on the menu.

Jadon Sancho is still banished from the first team, while none of Mason Mount (calf), Lisandro Martinez (foot), Casemiro (thigh), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Christian Eriksen (knee) or Amad Diallo (knee) will be fit for the match either.

Victor Lindelof is winning his battle to recover from a knock, but after forcing Raphael Varane to watch on from the bench for several weeks, Erik ten Hag may now swallow his pride and reintroduce the seasoned Champions League veteran in front of Andre Onana.

Varane's reintroduction next to Harry Maguire would allow Luke Shaw to revert to his favoured left-back role, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka will surely come into contention for a start at right-back over Diogo Dalot.

With Sofyan Amrabat not cutting the mustard, teenage protege Kobbie Mainoo - one of the Red Devils' few bright sparks this term - could be given the nod alongside Scott McTominay in the engine room.

Rashford has become the latest high-profile name to fall out of favour under Ten Hag, and the Englishman's sickness could see Alejandro Garnacho retain a starting berth alongside Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund, who is virtually guaranteed to displace the ineffective and ill Martial.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Varane, Shaw; McTominay, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
