How Man Utd could line up for must-win Everton clash with Martial back and under-fire Solskjaer ditching the diamond

ANTHONY MARTIAL is poised to start for Manchester United against Everton on Saturday having completed his suspension.

The French striker was banned for three games after being sent off against Tottenham, which resulted in him missing the clashes against Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal.

And having scored in the 2-1 defeat against Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey on Wednesday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will likely throw him back into the mix.

The Red Devils gaffer is under huge pressure following back-to-back defeats, and the club could drop to 17th in the table if they lose against the Toffees.

Having played a narrow diamond formation in their last three games, Solskjaer could revert back to a 4-3-3 to bring width back to his side.

After being dropped for the Champions League clash midweek, David De Gea is likely to start between the sticks.

Aaron Wan-Bisska will surely slot in at right-back, with Luke Shaw to retain his place at left-back.

Summer signing Alex Telles is nearing a return to first team action after testing positive for coronavirus, but it is believed the trip to Everton will come too soon for him.

Partnering Harry Maguire yet again in the heart of defence could be Axel Tuanzebe with Victor Lindelof a doubt due to picking up a slight back injury.

Scott McTominay failed to impress in the 1-0 defeat against the Gunners, and he will likely be dropped to the bench.

Also coming out of the side could be Paul Pogba, with the Frenchman yet to chip in with a goal or assist in six Premier League games this season.

This could lead to Donny van de Beek making his first start in the top-flight having come on as a substitute five times.

He could partner Fred in the middle of the pitch, with Portuguese playmaker Bruno Fernandes playing in an advanced role.

Mason Greenwood could be deployed on the right ring, with Marcus Rashford to start on the opposite flank.

Martial is likely to lead the line for United, with Edinson Cavani yet again to find himself on the bench.
