Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has some decisions to make when his players return to Carrington this week.
United have suffered two defeats in their first four games and the tough fixtures are set to keep coming for the Reds. A home clash with Brighton is next up when the Premier League resumes and will be followed by a trip to Bayern Munich in midweek as the Champions League group stage gets underway and Ten Hag will be contemplating tactical tweaks after an unsteady start.
However, Jadon Sancho's future at the club looks uncertain after a public disagreement between player and manager over why he was left out against Arsenal. United have also confirmed that Antony will not be returning to training “until further notice” following allegations of abuse, while the talented Ivorian winger Amad is also unavailable through injury.

Pellistri given chance
The lack of available options on the right flank may present Facundo Pellistri with an opportunity to truly stake his claim for a regular place in the starting XI. The Uruguay international has made two cameo appearances so far this season after featuring on a total of 10 occasions last term.
United were thought to be open to a loan move for Pellistri, 21, during the summer in order for him to gain first team experience. However, being a natural right winger, his inclusion in the United side would allow Ten Hag to keep Marcus Rashford in his best position on the left and provide Rasmus Hojlund with the chance to prove himself as United’s number nine.
Mount experiment
