With Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt injured, Casemiro suspended and Amad, Bryan Mbeumo and Noussair Mazraoui competing in the Africa Cup of Nations, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has had a limited selection of players to choose from for his starting XI against Aston Villa today.
This was made worse today when Kobbie Mainoo was rulked out with a knock before the game.
Amorim looks to have kept to his 3-4-3 formation despite rumours of a switch to four at the back.
Senne Lammens is in goal.
The back three are Leny Yoro, Ayden Heaven and Luke Shaw. Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu are the wing backs.
Bruno Fernandes is joined in midfield by Manuel Ugarte. Up front, Ben Sesko is flanked by Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount.
Kick-off at Villa Park is at 4.30pm.
