Early Man United team news ahead of RB Leipzig clash


Early
Manchester United will on Wednesday night host RB Leipzig for their second Champions League match of the season, hoping to make it two wins in as many matches.  Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have almost an entire squad to pick from, including Anthony Martial, who did not feature in the scoreless draw against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday. Marcus Rashford, who was brilliant against Frank Lampard's men is also available, same as Edinson Cavani, who made his debut on the same day. In the fray to feature is Mason Greenwood as well, who was introduced late on at Old Trafford following a two-match absence. Eric Bailly and Jesse Lingard are the only ones unavailable for the clash, which leaves Solskjaer with the rest of the team to pick from. The Norwegian has a tough call to make on which formation he could go for against the Germans, having reaped success in Paris while playing with three defenders and wing-backs. He, however, reverted to the four-man defence against Chelsea, which locked out Alex Telles, who made an impressive debut against Paris Saint-Germain. In midfield, Paul Pogba's recent omission from the team has led to many questioning his long-term future and his role in the team, and might be drafted back in place of either Fred or Scott McTominay, who have started the last two matches.
