Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up against Brentford in the Premier League.

Manchester United are hoping to have Cristiano Ronaldo available for selection in Wednesday's Premier League clash with Brentford.

Ronaldo has missed his side's last two games against Aston Villa due to a hip problem, but the Portugal international should be fit to return against the Bees and could replace Edinson Cavani in the starting XI.

Paul Pogba remains on the sidelines with a thigh problem, while Eric Bailly is unavailable due to his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka also remains a doubt through illness, but Marcus Rashford, who has struggled for form in recent weeks, could be involved after missing out at the weekend due to a dead leg that he picked up in training.

Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay are both available following one-game suspensions and should return, while Harry Maguire is in line to feature in the starting XI, with the club captain back on the bench against Villa on Saturday after recovering from a chest issue.

Anthony Elanga could keep his spot in the final third of the field, though, with the 19-year-old impressing against Villa, so Jadon Sancho and Rashford may both start on the bench.

Victor Lindelof, Alex Telles, Nemanja Matic and Cavani could be the four players to drop out, with Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood set to retain their spots in the side.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Elanga, Fernandes, Greenwood; Ronaldo
