Ten Hag's injury list continues to grow with defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka the latest player to be ruled out of this game. Alongside a host of injuries, Jadon Sancho is not currently involved with the United first team, with Antony taking a leave of absence. That combination of circumstances meant a Champions League debut and only a second United start for Facundo Pellistri.
