Ruben Amorim has decided to ring the changes for Manchester United’s home game with in-form Wolves in the Premier League.
The boss had little option after the euphoric, but gruelling, Europa League quarter-final victory over Lyon late into Thursday night.
He has said he will carefully manage players’ minutes, with the priority clearly the last-four dates in Europe with Athletic Club next month.
There are five alterations to the XI that started the epic tie with Lyon, including a senior debut for Tyler Fredricson in defence.
The homegrown centre-back is joined by Victor Lindelof, who captains the team, and Noussair Mazraoui, who was withdrawn at half-time on Thursday due to a personal issue.
Kobbie Mainoo is rewarded for his heroics with a start, possibly in an advanced slot, while Harry Amass is in too, probably ensuring Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu swaps flanks. Christian Eriksen, who came on as a substitute in extra-time in midweek, is part of the XI, as he was at Newcastle United last time out in the Premier League.
There is no Altay Bayindir on the bench, with Tom Heaton the stand-in keeper, but Jonny Evans makes his long-awaited return to the matchday squad.
Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes, who have played so much football this term, are also among the substitutes after being granted a breather.
United: Onana; Mazraoui, Lindelof (c), Fredricson; Dorgu, Eriksen, Ugarte, Amass; Garnacho, Mainoo; Hojlund.
Substitutes: Heaton, Dalot, Evans, Yoro, Casemiro, Maguire, Fernandes, Mount, Obi.
