Erik ten Hag’s team sheet for this afternoon’s games has concerned fans as they guess who will play in defence.

In defence the Dutch boss has put Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the left next to Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot on the right.

A third then put: “Casemiro at cb tears.”

The Brazilian has occasionally played as centre-back, so will be familiar if one of them has to play in the defensive line.

The defensive midfielder last season played in the United back-line notably in the Carabao Cup.
