Marcus Rashford has returned to the Manchester United line-up for Sunday's must-win clash with Tottenham.
The forward was benched for the Red Devils' last Premier League outing against Crystal Palace last weekend, a decision that has garnered criticism. But after restoring Rashford to the side during the Europa League clash with FC Twente, the United academy graduate returns to a Premier League starting line-up for the showdown with Spurs.
Rashford had enjoyed a positive start to the campaign with three goals in eight games - albeit two of those strikes coming in the 7-0 win against League One side Barnsley in the Carabao Cup. He will lead the line alongside Joshua Zirkzee, while Alejandro Garnacho also starts in attack against Spurs.
There's also another notable name also on the teamsheet. Manuel Ugarte, who moved to Old Trafford from Paris Saint-Germain, makes his first Premier League start. He is alongside Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes in the heart of the Red Devils' midfield.
Former Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui have been named in defence, while Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot round off the back four. Andre Onana is predictably between the sticks.
While the Red Devils have a near full complement to choose from, Spurs were dealt a major blow ahead of the game. Captain Son Heung-min was ruled out with a hamstring isue he picked up in the midweek win vs Qarabag.
That was despite Ange Postecoglou being optimistic of his chances of playing. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Australian said: "Sonny, I don’t think is too bad.

"He wants to train tomorrow (Saturday) and we will see how it goes and make a decision from there. We have another day up our sleeve to give him every chance."
In more positive news, £60m forward Dominic Solanke was fit to start following an excellent run of form. The former Bournemouth man had scored in each of his last two games in all competitions.
Spurs went with an attacking set-up at Old Trafford with Timo Werner, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski all selected to start.
Rodrigo Bentancur was selected as the holding midfielder. Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro were named in a back four ahead of Guglielmo Vicario
