Ronaldo and three Others Out – Predicted Man United Starting XI vs Man City as Ten Hag Plans to Make two changes

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial could both miss Manchester United’s match against Manchester City on Sunday.

The pair were both injured prior to and over the international break, according to The Times, and neither has trained properly in the week running up to the derby.

Erik ten Hag will have Antony to call on at least as he attempts to construct his assault after the winger returned home from Brazil duty on Wednesday.

On Friday, the United manager will address the media and deliver an update on his frontline, with Facundo Pellistri (ankle) nearing a return.

In defense, an update on Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected after he was forced to miss the recent Europa League triumph over FC Sheriff. However, Diogo Dalot’s recent form should maintain him at right-back.

Tyrell Malacia will have to be chosen over the fit-again Luke Shaw for the left-back position. Ten Hag also has Casemiro and Scott McTominay vying for the starting spot in central midfield.

Harry Maguire is a doubt after suffering a thigh injury while on England duty, and he is said to have skipped training ahead of the encounter. Regardless of his fitness, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are poised to start at the back.

In recent weeks, Donny van de Beek (knee), Martin Dubravka (thigh), and Brandon Williams have all been in the treatment room.

Predicted De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Eriksen, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo
