Manchester United play hosts to RB Leipzig, as the Champions League nights return to the fabled Old Trafford stadium. The Red Devils will look to build on their victory against PSG last midweek and will look to do the same against RB Leipzig as well. It was expected of Solskjaer to go for a strong lineup, and the manager hasn’t disappointed, starting Pogba, Matic and Van de Beek together.

The likes of Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford have been rested for the game, after playing a lot of football recently. Alex Telles hasn’t even made it in the squad, which has raised some eyebrows. In the centre of defence, Maguire starts with Victor Lindelof as Luke Shaw and Wan-Bissaka keep their places in the starting XI.
This is a very strong lineup by Solskjaer, who has been recently criticized for not starting some of the superstars. The Norwegian has placed his starts and now it is up to the players to rise and shine. There will be a keen eye on how Van de Beek plays, as there has been a lot of talk surrounding the Dutch midfielder.
