Sofian Amrabat, Anthony and Rasmus Højlund will all return to the Manchester United side to face Galatasaray in tonight’s crucial Champions League match.
United’s young squad has seven players under the age of 21: Facundo Pellistri, Hannibal, Joe Hugill, Hoylund, Alejandro Garnacho, Dan Gore and Koby Mainu.
Of the seven players, Hoylund and Garnacho are the only starters.
The Dane returns to the bench in place of Anthony Martial.
Anthony replaces the suspended Marcus Rashford.
Amrabat will join Scott McTominay in midfield in place of Koby Mainu.
Fans will be disappointed to see Mainu left out of the starting XI despite an impressive Premier League debut on Sunday.
There were further changes in the defence, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka replacing Diogo Dalot.
The rest of the squad remained unchanged, with Andre Onana in goal, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw in defence, Bruno Fernandes in number 10 and Alejandro Garnacho on the left wing.
Given United’s injury problems this season, playing on a soggy pitch in such heavy rain is as much a minefield as playing against their ferocious Turkish opponents. Dew.
