Premier League Q&A LIVE: Will Harry Maguire start against Man City for this weekend’s Manchester derby and more of your Man United questions answered

CHRIS WHEELER: It’s still touch and go. Based on the last two games at OT, I wouldn’t bet my house on them getting a result in Copenhagen or Istanbul, but they will probably have to.

It did occur to me that Bayern will almost certainly have qualified at a canter by the time they arrive in Manchester in December and may not be at it 100 per cent, but maybe that’s wishful thinking! United have certainly made life hard for themselves, no doubt about it, but I’ll stick my neck out and say second place – whilst keeping an eye on the Europa League results!

CHRIS WHEELER: They are right to be concerned. United aren’t playing well at all. As I mentioned in reference to Maguire earlier, let’s not get too carried away by dodgy one-goal wins over Brentford, Sheffield  United and Copenhagen – not with Man City waiting around the corner.

A lot has been made about the 16-man injury list, and it certainly hasn’t helped in terms of stability and consistency. But how many of the players currently out of action would walk into this team? Martinez and Shaw? Wan-Bissaka at a push.

I’m sure Ten Hag won’t be getting too far ahead of himself.

CHRIS WHEELER: A massive moment for him. I’m writing a piece on Onana for the website later and his confidence has clearly taken a battering.

He worked hard to get himself right during the international break when he played well against Senegal, and I thought he was solid at Sheffield United as well. He conceded a penalty in both those games, but came good when it mattered against Copenhagen.

It was significant that it came in the Champions League as well because probably his two worst games were against Bayern and Galatasaray. Hopefully he can build on this. Schmeichel and De Gea both overcame shaky starts at United so fingers crossed.

CHRIS WHEELER: A defensive one! It makes no sense to go gung-ho against City. Ten Hag won’t have forgotten that 6-3 at the Etihad a year ago, and it could easily happen again. If memory serves, he played two defensive midfielders in all three derbies with Eriksen at No.10  and Fernandes on the right as a defensive measure, with varying degrees of success.

City were in total control at Old Trafford until Fernandes scored a controversial equaliser in a 2-1 win, and City’s 2-1 win the FA Cup final wasn’t nearly as close as it seems.

I think Ten Hag will go with two defensive mids again on Sunday, probably Casemiro and Amrabat. Whether Eriksen gets a rare start and Fernandes plays right again seems less likely. Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon; Casemiro, Amrabat; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

CHRIS WHEELER: I think so. If Varane came through last night’s game unscathed and is fit to start on the right, then I would expect Maguire to be on the left. Ten Hag prefers left-footed players in that position, but I think Maguire will get the nod ahead of Evans and Lindelof.

If Martinez – and probably Shaw – were fit, it might be a different matter but Maguire has earned his spot after a difficult period. It would make no sense to leave him out when he’s on such a high.

The only caution from my point of view is not to get carried away by the last three games when the opponents have been Brentford, Sheffield United and FC Copenhagen. Man City are a different proposition altogether.

CHRIS WHEELER joins us in five minutes to discuss all the latest goings on at Old Trafford.

CHRIS WHEELER: As the fans filed past the Trinity statue to pay their respects to Sir Bobby Charlton on Tuesday night, one man in a baseball cap stopped and bowed his head as if facing an altar. After a few moments of quiet contemplation he unclasped his hands and crossed himself.

MUFC The Religion, a banner used to declare at Old Trafford, and no-one was worshipped more than Sir Bobby.

Amid the swathe of floral tributes, scarves and jerseys laid out beneath Charlton, Denis Law and George Best flickered a solitary candle.

United fans paid emotional tributes to Sir Bobby Charlton last night following his death at the age of 86.

It was an emotionally charged occasion as fans descended outside Old Trafford hours before kick-off to pay their respects.

How good was Eriksen last night? JOE BERNSTEIN writes that his display has given Erik ten Hag a headache ahead of the Manchester derby…
