How Manchester United could line up against Istanbul Basaksehir

Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up for Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir.

Manchester United are in action for the penultimate time before the final international break of the year as they travel to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League.

The Red Devils lost 1-0 to Arsenal at the weekend - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring the only goal from the penalty spot - to remain in the lower reaches of the Premier League.

They have had a far better time of things on the continent, though, having followed up a 2-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain with a 5-0 victory against RB Leipzig last time out.

Ahead of Wednesday's trek to Turkey, Sports Mole looks at how United may line up for their third Group H outing.

United have a tricky test away at Everton to come next weekend, so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to use this match as an opportunity to rotate his side.

That could mean Dean Henderson being handed a third appearance of the season - and a first ever in the Champions League - in place of David de Gea.

Axel Tuanzebe has played just nine minutes as a substitute since his impressive display away at PSG and will be hopeful of another start here.

After sitting out the Arsenal defeat through suspension, Anthony Martial will be raring to go in attack, where he may be joined by Mason Greenwood.

Greenwood has six goals in major UEFA competitions as a teenager - five in the Europa League and one in the Champions League - which is the joint-most of any English teenager, along with teammate Marcus Rashford.

Edinson Cavani is still working his way back to full fitness, meanwhile, and is in strong contention to lead the line at the Fatih Terim Stadium.

Elsewhere, Nemanja Matic and Donny van de Beek were second-half substitutes against Arsenal and seem likely contenders to come into the XI here.
