Erik ten Hag has selected his first Manchester United starting line-up for the pre-season clash against Liverpool.
The Red Devils face Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in Bangkok, Thailand, in a game that will kick off at 2pm.
Here is the Dutchman’s starting line-up: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.
Manchester United’s only signing of the summer transfer window so far Tyrell Malacia is on the bench with Luke Shaw starting.
Despite missing the open training session yesterday, Raphael Varane is fit to start alongside Victor Lindelof at the heart of United’s defence with club captain Harry Maguire missing out.
Diogo Dalot has been give the nod over Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back and Ten Hag has stuck with United’s favoured midfield duo last season Scott McTominay and Fred.
That means that returning loanee and former Ajax man Donny van de Beek starts on the bench.
Like Maguire, James Garner isn’t fit enough to form a part of the matchday squad.
With United’s number five absent, Bruno Fernandes, who will be donning the number eight jersey for the first time at United, will wear the captain’s armband.
He will be joined in attack by England duo Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho with the returning Anthony Martial leading the line.
The likes of Ethan Laird, Amad, Hannibal, Charlie Savage, Zidane Iqbal, Facundo Pellistri and Alejandro Garnacho will be hoping to come off the bench and impress their new manager.
