Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag could receive a double injury boost for Wednesday's EFL Cup fourth-round clash with Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils were without no fewer than seven players for Sunday's Manchester derby, where Erling Haaland's brace and a Phil Foden effort propelled Manchester City to a resounding 3-0 win.

Casemiro (ankle) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (thigh) lost their battles to be fit for the clash of the titans, but both men should be in with a chance of making the squad in midweek, although whether they are ready to start is another matter entirely.

None of Luke Shaw (muscle), Amad Diallo (knee), Tyrell Malacia (knee) or Lisandro Martinez (foot) will be at Ten Hag's disposal, though, while Jadon Sancho remains out of the first-team picture indefinitely.

Ten Hag controversially denied Altay Bayindir his debut in the third-round beating of Crystal Palace, and Andre Onana - who is slowly but surely redeeming himself - seems set to continue in between the sticks for the time being.

Changes should still be afoot in defence, where Sergio Reguilon and Raphael Varane might replace Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans, but Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot's spots are seemingly in no danger.

Sofyan Amrabat should be good to go again after being taken off with 45 minutes gone against Man City, and while it is anybody's guess who might join the Moroccan, Christian Eriksen should have done enough to get the nod.

Amid calls from Roy Keane for Man United to strip him of the captaincy, Bruno Fernandes could drop out of the team, allowing Mason Mount to join a new supporting cast of Antony and Alejandro Garnacho behind Rasmus Hojlund, who still awaits his first domestic goal for the club.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon; Amrabat, Eriksen; Antony, Mount, Garnacho; Hojlund
