Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Monday's Premier League opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Manchester United new boy Rasmus Hojlund will watch on from the sidelines when the Red Devils open their Premier League campaign at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.

The former Atalanta BC striker is expected to miss the first few weeks of the season due to a back injury, while Kobbie Mainoo (ankle), Dean Henderson (thigh), Anthony Martial (thigh), Tyrell Malacia (muscle), Thomas Heaton (calf) and Amad Diallo (knee) are also on the absentee list.

With Hojlund out of contention, Marcus Rashford will most likely spearhead the Red Devils attack, having notched 20 home goals in all competitions during the 2022-23 campaign.

Support for the Englishman should come from Mason Mount - who may line up on the left-hand side for his competitive debut - and Antony, while Bruno Fernandes pull the strings centrally as ever.

Casemiro and Christian Eriksen's midfield partnership will seemingly be left alone for the time being, as will Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez's pairing in the heart of the Red Devils' backline.

Luke Shaw is a nailed-on starter at left-back with Malacia recovering, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka appears to be winning the head-to-head with Diogo Dalot to start on the right-hand side of the rearguard.

Reinforcing a Man United backline that shipped just 10 home goals in the top flight last term, new arrival Andre Onana will no doubt start in between the sticks for his maiden Premier League appearance.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Mount; Rashford
