Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof return to the Manchester United squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Copenhagen.

Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof have both returned to the Manchester United squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Copenhagen in Denmark.

The Red Devils were without the services of Rashford against Fulham on Saturday afternoon due to a knock to the leg that the forward suffered in training towards the end of last week.

Lindelof, meanwhile, was absent for his side's 1-0 victory at Craven Cottage through illness.

The duo were back in training on Tuesday morning, though, and it has now been confirmed that they have made the trip to Denmark for the key European fixture.

Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans impressed in the middle of the Man United defence against Fulham on Saturday, with Raphael Varane entering the field as a late substitute.

Head coach Erik ten Hag must now decide whether to keep faith with Maguire and Evans, bring in Varane, or name the returning Lindelof in his XI.

Rashford's return, meanwhile, will put pressure on Alejandro Garnacho, who was one of Man United's brightest players in their clash with Fulham last time out.

Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Amad Diallo are all absent due to injuries, while Kobbie Mainoo has not been included in the squad.

Mainoo is yet to play this season due to an ankle injury that he picked up during pre-season, and it has been decided that the teenager will stay with the Under-19s for their UEFA Youth League fixture with Copenhagen.

Omari Forson makes the trip, as does Facundo Pellistri, who impressed off the bench against Fulham, playing an important role in Man United's only goal of the match.

Antony is yet to register a goal or an assist this season, and Ten Hag must decide whether to keep faith with the Brazil international when it comes to a starting position.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has featured in the team's last two matches after recovering from a hamstring issue, meanwhile, and he is in line to make his first Champions League appearance of the campaign.

Full Manchester United squad vs. Copenhagen:

Onana, Bayindir, Heaton; Dalot, Evans, Lindelof, Maguire, Reguilon, Varane, Wan-Bissaka; Amrabat, Eriksen, Fernandes, Hannibal, McTominay, Mount; Garnacho, Antony, Forson, Hojlund, Martial, Pellistri, Rashford
