Champions League action returns for Manchester United tonight as they travel to Russia to battle it out against Group A rivals CSKA Moscow.
The Red Devils who returned to UEFA Champions League this season due to a Europa League win ticket, will be hoping to retain their top spot in the group stage having defeated Basel by 3 goals to nil, which was enough to see them go top of their group courtesy of goals by Marouane Fellaini, Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku. But they’ll need to snatch all 3 points against CSKA Moscow who are levelled on points with the English side after a 2 – 1 win against Benfica in their opening match.
Jose Mourinho’ side will be missing in action players like Marcos Rojo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini who picked up an ankle injury against Southampton due to a tackle by Shane Long over the weekend. Phil Jones and Eric Baily have completed their match suspensions but Jones has already been ruled out of the match with Baily likely to be included in the lineup for today.
In light of this injury woes and players return, we could be seeing this potential squad for Manchester United tonight:
Predicted Line up: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof, Blind, Matic, Herrera, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Lukaku, Romero, Darmian, Shaw, Bailly, Young, Lingard, Rashford.
