Erik ten Hag could finally start Manchester United's strongest XI soon

Two in and two out? Christian Eriksen and Casemiro may be on the Old Trafford pitch to observe the Europa League anthem on Thursday evening but it is unlikely Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford will be.

It would have been remarkably good fortune had Manchester United entered this week with one significant injury to contend with (that's Alejandro Garnacho, not Donny van de Beek).

Rashford's apparent groin strain in attempting to trap Eriksen's lofted pass is a potential sliding doors moment. Rashford's 28 goals account for 32.5% of the 86 United have scored this term.

Ten Hag considered removing Rashford with United only 1-0 up against Everton. That would have been a risk as United converted one of their 21 attempts at goal in the first half alone.
