Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up in Sunday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United will be aiming to further cement their position in the top four in the Premier League table when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils, who are currently second, nine points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea, will again be without the services of Anthony Martial and Phil Jones this weekend through injury.

Eric Bailly is also absent following a recent positive coronavirus test, but Luke Shaw and Paul Pogba should both be available despite being substituted against Granada in the Europa League on Thursday.

David de Gea was given the nod between the sticks for the European contest, which Man United won 2-0 courtesy of goals from Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, but Dean Henderson should return to the starting XI at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fred is also expected to feature, having been left out of the quarter-final first leg in Spain, but the fact that Scott McTominay is suspended for the second leg means that the Scot is also likely to start here.

As a result, Pogba could be shifted to a wide left position, with Rashford going through the middle, leaving Mason Greenwood to operate off the right.

Head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also has the option of playing Edinson Cavani through the middle, but the Uruguay international has struggled with a number of muscular problems in recent weeks and could therefore be used off the bench, having featured on Thursday evening.

Daniel James played the full 90 minutes against Granada, meanwhile, and could now drop out of the first XI, with the Welshman's pace off the bench potentially an option in the second half of this contest.

Man United possible starting lineup: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba; Rashford
