Manchester United will take on Manchester City in a much anticipated Premier League clash on Saturday, December 12 and it is unlikely for Edinson Cavani to start.

According to the predicted line-up according to UK outlet Mirror, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have tough decisions to make as he faces-off with Pep Guardiola.

With injury depleting the Red Devils squad, the United manager will also have tough decisions over David de Gea and Paul Pogba.

Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola recently stated that the best option for the Frenchman is to leave the Old Trafford outfit, adding that his time at the club is up.

The comments came just on the eve of their Champions League cracker against RB Leipzig and it went on to haunt the club as they lost 3-2 to bow out of the tournament.

Ahead of the fixture against the Citizens, Manchester United are seventh on the Premier League standings – one place and a point ahead of the Etihad Stadium outfit.

Victory for either side will shoot the team into the top four, until at least Sunday, with both teams also having a game at hand over teams above them.

Recall that De Gea made a mistake in their game against Leipzig, Solskjaer will have to decide whether to start him.

The goalkeeper’s position has continued to be under threat following the sublime form of Dean Henderson, but the manager is likely to stick with his first-choice keeper for the visit of City.

Defenders to possibly be in front of De Gea are Harry Magiuire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof.
