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

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim might be deprived of another two defenders for Sunday's Premier League clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The Red Devils lost both Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro to injury in their 2-1 Europa League win over Rangers on Thursday, and while neither man is carrying anything serious, the tight turnaround renders them doubtful for this contest.

The visitors are already guaranteed to be missing Luke Shaw (hamstring), Mason Mount (leg) and Jonny Evans (muscle), but Victor Lindelof has resumed training, and Noussair Mazraoui ought to be fine after missing Thursday's match for precautionary reasons.

The Morocco international will be a candidate to fill in for one of De Ligt or Yoro in the back three if neither man is passed fit, while Harry Maguire should also benefit from their blows, despite not covering himself in glory for Cyriel Dessers's leveller in midweek.

Expect Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo to earn swift recalls to the midfield pack too, while Amad Diallo might be forced to continue in a wing-back slot if Mazraoui links arms with Maguire and Lisandro Martinez in the three-man wall.

Amorim could alternatively draft Tyrell Malacia into the team and move Diogo Dalot to the right flank, but Alejandro Garnacho might have played his way into a start after impressing in the Rangers victory.

The Chelsea-linked Argentine would no doubt work in tandem with Bruno Fernandes if that is the case, potentially behind Rasmus Hojlund as Joshua Zirkzee returns to the substitutes' bench.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
