Manchester United will today take on Valencia in the Champions League fixture at Old Trafford.
United head to the game following a 3-1 defeat against West Ham United in the Premier League over the weekend.
The Red Devils will be without Ashley Young, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard for today’s match, with the trio all missing training on Monday and subsequently being ruled out by manager, Jose Mourinho.
Defender, Marcos Rojo is also sidelined for the home side, who must decide whether to stick with the 3-5-2 experiment which has backfired on a couple of occasions this season or revert to a 4-3-3.
Midfielder, Paul Pogba played 20 minutes against West Ham and his place in the team is in doubt despite his two-goal performance on matchday one.
Meanwhile, Valencia head to the game following a 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad.
Valencia coach, García Toral will welcome defender, Jose Gaya back to his squad after recovering from injury, while forward, Santi Mina and winger, Ferran Torres remain out.
Striker, Rodrigo Moreno will battle it out with Gameiro and Michy Batshuayi for a place up front, while former Arsenal players, Francis Coquelin and Gabriel Paulista will also be hopeful of starting against United.
Manchester United’s potential starting XI: De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw; Pogba, Matic, Fred; Rashford, Lukaku, Sanchez
Valencia’s potential starting XI: Neto; Vezo, Gabriel, Diakhaby, Gaya; Soler, Parejo, Kondogbia, Guedes; Gameiro, Batshuayi
