Manchester United will have Bruno Fernandes available for Sunday’s Premier League trip to West Ham.
The Portugal international missed Thursday night’s 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce in the Europa League due to suspension.
Erik ten Hag’s side missed Fernandes’ influence in the final third, especially in the second half as they conceded an equalising goal and neither of the teams were able to score a winning goal.
That said, Ten Hag is still missing a host of key players against the Hammers.
No Antony but Fernandes returns for Manchester United
The latest injury blow saw Antony come off in the midweek game with help of a stretcher. It remains to be seen how long the Brazilian winger will be out but it doesn’t look like he will be involved this weekend.
Both Jonny Evans and Mason Mount will require late tests to see if they can be involved. There is hope that the 36-year-old centre-back will be available after picking up a knock in the 2-1 win over Brentford last weekend.
The other injuries rule out players like Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw or Kobbie Mainoo from playing a part against West Ham.
Noussair Mazraoui is expected to return to his favoured right-back role, after playing as a Number 10 against the Turks in Europe.
Predicted Manchester United XI vs Fenerbahce: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Ugarte, Fernandes; Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho.
That predicted line up actually makes sense. What’s the bet Ten Hag will do something completely different?
WHU 2:1 MAN U,b’se Erik dont have his starting 11.
Why not dialo?
