Manchester United could have Cristiano Ronaldo back in their starting lineup when they travel to face Brentford this evening.
Christian Eriksen made his Red Devils debut in a false-nine role that failed to spark the side into life against Brighton, as Erik ten Hag lost his first game in charge.
Were Ronaldo to start today, then Eriksen would likely drop back into midfield against his former employers to force one of Fred or Scott McTominay out of the starting XI.
Tyrell Malacia, Donny van de Beek and Anthony Elanga are all hoping to step up from the bench and enter the lineup.
Ten Hag has revealed that both centre-back Victor Lindelof and forward Anthony Martial are injury doubts for the game.

Brentford vs Manchester United prediction
The Bees took a solid point on the opening weekend while United floundered,
but their road form has been not quite-so-tragic in recent times and the Red Devils could nab a tight win here to boost morale.
