Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will consider making some changes to his starting lineup for Wednesday's Europa League opener against FC Twente at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils, who played out a 0-0 Premier League draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday, are still having to cope without summer signing Leny Yoro (foot), while Luke Shaw is doubtful with a calf issue.

However, Tyrell Malacia (knee) has made a welcome return to first-team training, as has Victor Lindelof after a spell out of the side with a toe issue; both players are set to be assessed ahead of kickoff.

Andre Onana impressed between the sticks against Palace to help United keep their third successive clean sheet, and he is expected to continue in goal, while Ten Hag may ponder selecting Harry Maguire in central defence at the expense of either Matthijs de Ligt or Lisandro Martinez. Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui are both set to remain as full-backs.

Summer signing Manuel Ugarte made his second successive Premier League substitute appearance at the weekend after making his full debut in a 7-0 EFL Cup win over Barnsley last week, and the Uruguayan is in contention to return to the first XI in midfield.

Casemiro is another who could be recalled as Ten Hag considers whether to continue with Kobbie Mainoo and Christian Eriksen in the engine room, while Bruno Fernandes will presumably retain his spot in the number 10 role, meaning Mason Mount may begin as a substitute.

Rasmus Hojlund made a welcome return to the matchday squad last weekend, coming off the substitutes' bench for the final 15 minutes, and having only just recovered from injury, Ten Hag may opt to gradually ease the Dane back into the first team, meaning Joshua Zirkzee could start again up front.

Marcus Rashford was surprisingly dropped for the draw with Palace after previously scoring three goals in two games, and the Englishman will be hoping to force his way back into the first XI against Twente, battling with Alejandro Garnacho Amad Diallo and Antony for a start on either flank.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
