A long-term injury absentee in Edinson Cavani features on the bench for Manchester United as they take on Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
It is a full-strength XI fielded by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the midweek defeat in the Carabao Cup to West Ham United.
Dea Gea, Maguire and Varane return
The regulars at the back for Manchester United return to the starting teamsheet after being rested for the West Ham United clash on Wednesday evening.
Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire start in the heart of the backline with Aaron Wan-Bisaaka and Luke Shaw taking up their usual roles at full-back.
Cristiano Ronaldo leads the line for the hosts
Returning to the teamsheet is the figure of Cristiano Ronaldo who will be backed to maintain his fine run of form in front of the goal which he has put up since making the way back to England’s top flight this summer from Juventus.
Ronaldo will be assisted in breaking down the Aston Villa defence by the likes of Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba all of whom will be expected to feature up top on the pitch.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
