After naming a strong starting 11, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has opted to rest the club’s usual captain Harry Maguire.
Solskjaer’s starting side includes Dean Henderson in place of David De Gea in between the sticks and striker Anthony Martial upfront.
Elsewhere, new-signing Amad Diallo will be forced to wait to be called into action as he is resigned to a place on the bench.

In light of the news that Fernandes will captain the side, fans have been quick to take to their social media to react.
