Wholescale changes are evident in the Manchester United starting eleven that would take the Old Trafford pitch shortly to face off against Jurgen Klopp’s misfiring Liverpool.
Ole Gunnar Solskajer has opted to bring in a number of players back from the fringes into his first-team plans for the weekend clash and the most notable inclusion is of last summer’s marquee signing Donny van de Beek.
The Holland international is handed a rare start in the centre of the park for the 20-time top-flight champions and is partnered by the Pogba-McTominay pairing.
Bruno Fernandes is afforded some well-deserved rest after the recent 2-1 win over Fulham and Mason Greenwood is recalled into the XI to fill in for the former Sporting Lisbon man’s talisman-like abilities on the pitch.
Harry Maguire retains his spot in the backline alongside the usual faces of the full-back duo of Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka but Eric Bailley’s omission from the matchday squad is replenished by the return of Victor Lindelof.
Here is how both teams line up for todayβs FA Cup clash:
