Ruben Amorim has picked his Manchester United side to take on Brighton & Hove Albion.
On a poignant occasion at Old Trafford, where tributes are being paid to legendary goalscorer Denis Law, who sadly passed away on Friday, the Reds are taking on the Seagulls in a 14:00 GMT kick-off that is not live on television in the UK.
On the pitch, the Reds are looking to build on Thursday’s 3-1 win over Southampton and continue to push up the standings in the Premier League table.
There are three changes to the starting XI that defeated the Saints 3-1, thanks to the late hat-trick from Amad.
Harry Maguire is recalled, in place of Lisandro Martinez, with Diogo Dalot back from his ban to, presumably, play at left wing-back, although he and Noussair Mazraoui could switch sides.
Joshua Zirkzee, who performed well as a substitute last time out, is handed the striker’s role.
Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund move to the bench, with Amad pushed further forward.
THE TEAMS
United: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, De Ligt; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Amad, Fernandes (c); Zirkzee.
Substitutes: Bayindir, Malacia, Martinez, Casemiro, Collyer, Eriksen, Antony, Garnacho, Hojlund.
Brighton: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan; Baleba; Joao Pedro, Minteh, Ayari, Mitoma; Welbeck.
Substitutes: Steele, Lamptey, McConville, Webster, Adingra, Gomez, March, Enciso, Rutter.
