3

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has made a number of changes to his Manchester United starting line-up for today’s Premier League tie with Brentford.

The reshuffle begins at the back, with Altay Bayindir coming in for Andre Onana in goal.

The back three are Matthijs de Ligt, Luke Shaw and Tyler Fredricson.

Patrick Dorgu and Harry Amass are the wing backs.

In midfield, Manu Ugarte partners Kobbie Mainoo.

The front three are Mason Mount, Alejandro Garnacho and Chido Obi.

This means only Ugarte and Garnacho remain from the starting XI that played in Thursday’s Europa League victory over Athletic Club.

The bench includes Tom Heaton, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Leny Yoro, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, Amad and Rasmus Hojlund.

Fans will be excited to see the prodigious Obi get his first start for the Red Devils after a smattering of cameo substitute appearances.

De Ligt’s return from injury is also a welcome boost, although Amad was not deemed quite ready to start.

Lisandro Martinez, Ayden Heaven, Diogo Dalot, Toby Collyer and Josh Zirkzee are all still injured.

Kick-off in London is at 2pm.
