Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Wednesday's pre-season friendly with Lyon.

Manchester United could once again be forced to cope without several of their international stars for Wednesday's pre-season friendly against Lyon at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.

All of Casemiro, Marcus Rashford, Diogo Dalot, Luke Shaw, Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire - who is no longer the Red Devils' captain - are now back at Carrington and being put through their paces, but none of them has been called up to the squad for this one.

The quartet of Antony (ankle), Anthony Martial (thigh), Dean Henderson (thigh) and Donny van de Beek (knee) are confined to the medical room, while Tyrell Malacia and Rhys Bennett have also picked up issues and will miss out too.

Man United could very well announce the capture of Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana before kickoff on Wednesday, but for the time being, Nathan Bishop could act as Ten Hag's last line of defence, as Tom Heaton has been left out of the squad.

Bishop should be offered adequate protection in the shape of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane - although short-term returnee Jonny Evans represents a wildcard option - while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alvaro Fernandez may complete an untouched backline.

Should Fred not be considered for any minutes after his return from a knock, Mason Mount could form a midfield trifecta with Hannibal Mejbri and Kobbie Mainoo for his second appearance in a Red Devils jersey.

Joe Hugill might also be rewarded for his goal against Leeds with a start, operating at the tip of Ten Hag's attack with support from Amad Diallo and Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Bishop; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Fernandez; Mount, Hannibal, Mainoo; Sancho, Hugill, Diallo
