The Portuguese head coach makes several notable changes to the side that stumbled to a 1-1 draw at Ipswich on Sunday, with Mason Mount and Tyrell Malacia selected alongside the fit-again Lisandro Martínez. Antony, Manuel Ugarte, and Rasmus Højlund are all also in from the start.

It's the injury-hit Mount's first start for United since the 2-1 loss to Brighton back in August, but his new boss has spoken highly of him, and his best club football came in a similar shape under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea.

Malacia has been absent for even longer, having last played for United on the final day of the 2022/23 Premier League season, prior to a serious knee injury, and several complications in his recovery.

In more welcome news for United, Kobbie Mainoo is on the bench after his own brief spell on the sidelines.

Lineup in full (3-4-3): Onana; Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martínez; Antony, Ugarte, Fernandes, Malacia; Mount, Garnacho, Højlund

Despite their status as the biggest club in the competition, United are sat behind their Norwegian opponents in the table.

Amorim, and the United faithful, will expect that to change by the end of tonight, but could an upset be on the cards?

What do you think of the team and the match to come?
