MANCHESTER UNITED take on Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night in the French capital as they begin their Champions League campaign.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will likely have one eye on Saturday’s huge Premier League clash with Chelsea.
How Man Utd could line-up to take on PSG on Tuesday
But the Man Utd chief will send out his best available XI to take on the reigning Ligue 1 champions at the Parc des Princes.
Edinson Cavani, who has finally completed his period of self-isolation following his deadline-day transfer, will NOT make the XI against his old team.
The Uruguayan legend, 33, left PSG on a free earlier in the summer but was left in Manchester as his new pals flew to France in order to get up to match fitness.
Harry Maguire has also been left at home after calls to be rested amid a horror run of form – despite playing and scoring in the win over Newcastle.
Mason Greenwood also misses out, having not been present for the Toon victory with an unspecified injury.
However, Anthony Martial is free to play having been suspended for the game at St James’ Park after his scuffle with Erik Lamela in the 6-1 drubbing by Tottenham a fortnight earlier.
Solskjaer will now likely start Martial up front with Marcus Rashford on the left-wing.
With Greenwood not fit enough to reclaim his spot on the right-wing, Juan Mata, Daniel James and youngster Facundo Pellistri – all in the squad – will fight for his spot.
Another way Solskjaer could line-up his troops for the PSG game
In midfield, Donny van de Beek is likely to start alongside Scott McTominay in the deeper midfield roles.
With Bruno Fernandes likely to continue in his favoured No10 role, that means Paul Pogba could be left on the bench yet again.
In goal, Dean Henderson could continue his new role as cup goalkeeper having played in all of United’s Carabao Cup games so far this season.
With Maguire out, Victor Lindelof is set to start alongside Eric Bailly in the heart of defence.
Alex Telles could replace Luke Shaw to make his Man Utd debut, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the right-back spot.
Man Utd take on PSG on Tuesday October 20 at the Parc des Princes, with kick-off 8pm.
