Henderson in, Martial out: Best Man United XI to attack April fixtures

Who do we face in April?

Any injuries?

At present, Manchester United have the following players doubtful with injuries: Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Edinson Cavani, Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Juan Mata.

Cavani has been working on his fitness during the break, meaning he could fully recover soon. Rashford may be out for a while after a foot injury (in addition to a shoulder problem that could need surgery).

Greenwood, on the other hand, withdrew from the England U21 squad because of an unspecified injury.

Best XI for April

Goalkeeper: Dean Henderson has saved more clean sheets in David De Gea's absence and has impressed between the sticks. Based on form alone, it makes sense to let Dean keep his form.

Defenders: Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka remain our best options for the backline. However, if Lindelof's back problem refuses to heal, we could have Bailly in his place.

Midfielders: Since we have so many attackers doubtful with injuries, we accommodate an extra midfielder in a 4-4-2. There's Scott McTominay at defensive midfield, who has shown what he's capable of in that role for Scotland.

Donny van de Beek, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes make up the rest of the unit.

Attackers: Cavani might not have the physicality to be a regular sole striker but with Greenwood by his side, this could work. Also, the teenager has impressed in his last few outings through the middle.
