Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up in Saturday's pre-season friendly with Atletico Madrid.

Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen could make their official non-competitive debuts for Manchester United in Saturday's pre-season friendly with Atletico Madrid.

The pair were involved in Wednesday's behind-closed-doors fixture against Wrexham, with Eriksen on the scoresheet in the 4-1 victory, and they could now feature against Diego Simeone's side this weekend, having been named in the travelling squad.

A largely first-team outfit will travel to Norway for this game, before a second-string team takes on Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford a little over 24 hours later.

Head coach Erik ten Hag will have his eyes on next weekend's Premier League opener against Brighton & Hove Albion, so he could select the players that he has in his mind to start that contest.

Anthony Martial scored three times during an impressive pre-season tour and could again lead the line with support from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford in the wide areas.

Scott McTominay did not feature in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa last time out due to a slight injury, but the Scotland international could return alongside Fred in midfield.

Raphael Varane came through the clash with Wrexham unscathed after his fitness problems on tour, but he is not in the squad, while Luke Shaw is another notable absentee.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been back at Carrington this week for talks over his future, but the Portugal international has not made the trip to Norway for this match.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Malacia; McTominay, Fred; Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
