Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has a number of injuries to worry about ahead of his side's trip to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

The Red Devils will hope to strengthen their grip on third place at the weekend but will have to make do without a number of familiar faces as injuries begin to pile up at a crucial point in the season.

They face a Forest side looking to climb out of the relegation zone, though they haven't won since early February.

Here's the side Ten Hag could pick.

GK: David de Gea - Warned United not to underestimate Sevilla but was left stranded for both own goals.

RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Has somewhat surprisingly usurped Diogo Dalot at right back and has forged a good partnership with Antony.

CB: Harry Maguire - Will be in the spotlight from the off on Sunday after netting a cruel own goal against Sevilla.

CB: Luke Shaw - Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are both absent and Ten Hag doesn't seem to be a fan of Victor Lindelof, so Shaw could return to the central role he played earlier this season.

LB: Tyrell Malacia - Switched off in a big way to score an own goal and gift Sevilla a route back into the game.

CM: Casemiro - Available for Premier League duty again, having served a four-game suspension for his red card against Southampton.

CM: Bruno Fernandes - Booked on Thursday and out of the return Sevilla leg. Hasn't scored in eight Premier League games.

RW: Antony - Smacked the woodwork with a curler in midweek. More responbility to create tangible end product with Marcus Rashford sidelined.

AM: Marcel Sabitzer - His two goals weren't enough to secure United a first leg lead on Thursday but Sabitzer is starting to thrive in the number ten role.

LW: Jadon Sancho - The most likely candidate to start on the left with Rashford out. Not scored for ten United games.

ST: Wout Weghorst - Ten Hag may not wish to overload Anthony Martial so soon after his return from injury, so beanpole striker Weghorst could start up front.
