Man United will take on FC Twente in the Europa League on Wednesday night at Old Trafford, and Erik ten Hag has some dilemmas to solve.
After both Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund returned to the matchday squad for Saturday's goalless draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, United's list of first-team absentees now features just four players.
As a result, defence aside, Erik ten Hag is regularly facing selection dilemmas ahead of each and every fixture. It will be no different when FC Twente visit Old Trafford on Wednesday night for United's Europa League opener. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad have each started the season encouragingly, meaning competition in the wide areas is higher than it ever has ever been during Ten Hag's premiership. Hojlund's return against Palace also means Joshua Zirkzee now has a competitor to lead the line.
At the tip of midfield, Bruno Fernandes is United's chief architect, tasked with pulling the strings in the No.10 berth. Zirkzee, who has previously admitted he is not and out-and-out No.9, has displayed traits that he could be an alternative to Fernandes. Mount can also operate in that role. Harry Amass has not made it into a single matchday squad so far this season, suggesting Ten Hag does not believe he is ready, meaning United's full-back department is not going to be as strong as other areas until Shaw and Malacia are recovered.
