Harry Maguire is back in contention for Manchester United after injury and may get the game time to be match fit for the World Cup because of Raphaël Varane’s hamstring problem.
Varane will be out at least until the start of the tournament that begins on 20 November, leaving Maguire to compete with Victor Lindelöf for a place alongside Lisandro Martínez in the centre of the United defence. Maguire has not played since sustaining a thigh injury in England’s draw with Germany in September and had previously lost his United place, with Erik ten Hag preferring to pair Varane with Martínez.
