Scott McTominay starts in midfield along with Donny van de Beek so Fred and Nemanja Matic are named among the Manchester United substitutes. Daniel James gets another chance on the wing so Marcus Rashford is given a rest and Jesse Lingard makes a rare appearance with Bruno Fernandes dropping to the bench.

Anthony Martial is also rested so Mason Greenwood starts up front for United while Juan Mata offers support in attack. Odion Ighalo is another option for Solskjaer from the bench so the Man Utd boss has plenty of firepower if needed.
