The youngster lines-up alongside Casemiro in the middle of the park meaning Manuel Ugarte is on the bench.

Amad Diallo is back to start in attack along with Patrick Dorgu while Bruno Fernandes also keeps his place. Bryan Mbeumo appears to be leading the line up front for Man Utd so Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko have to settle for places on the bench today.
