Rashford returns to Man Utd lineup as Ten Hag names team to face Twente | OneFootball

Marcus Rashford has returned to the Manchester United starting lineup after Erik ten Hag named his team to face FC Twente.

The Red Devils begin their Uefa Europa League campaign by entertaining the Dutch outfit at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening. It’s the first of eight matches they will play in the new expanded format of the competition.

Ten Hag has selected a strong starting XI for the encounter, with goalkeeper Andre Onana fronted by a back four containing Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot.

Manuel Ugarte will form a midfield duo with Christian Eriksen in his second start since joining the club, while Bruno Fernandes will skipper the side in his customary number 10 role.

Joshua Zirkzee retains his place up front while Rasmus Hojlund continues to work his way back into fitness and is flanked by Amad Diallo and Rashford. The left winger had been dropped for last weekend’s goalless draw with Crystal Palace despite scoring three goals in his previous two games.

There is still no starting spot for Antony, whose only start of the campaign thus far came in last week’s 7-0 rout of Barnsley in the League Cup

Matthijs de Ligt and Kobbie Mainoo have been rotated out of the lineup and start the game on the bench alongside Altay Bayindir, Mason Mount, Hojlund, Casemiro, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Tom Heaton, Jonny Evans, and youngster Toby Collyer.

Man Utd starting lineup vs FC Twente:

4-2-3-1: Andre Onana; Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot; Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen; Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; Joshua Zirkzee.
