Ruben Amorim has shown his true colours with several big names missing out on the starting line-up for Manchester United's final home game.
The United boss has led his team through choppy waters this season - and he's shown his eyes are already on next season with some huge decision made on Sunday.
Andre Onana was axed for Altay Bayindir - there's no room for him on the bench either with Tom Heaton selected. Alejandro Garnacho was also axed from the matchday squad.
Garnacho looks set to leave the Red Devils this summer, and ahead of the clash his stunning WAG, Eva Garcia, hinted it was his final game for United on social media.
However, Victor Lindelof, who is out of contract in the summer, was given the nod to start.

Sunday also posed a chance to blood some youngsters, but Amorim decided to overlook them - most notably Chido Obi. Obi has been earmarked for big things in Manchester.
However, Rasmus Hojlund, who has also been linked with the exit door in the summer, was named in the starting line-up.
"Dropping Onana, Garna and Shaw is good, but Mainoo not even starting in dead rubber games doesn’t sit right with me icl," one fan posted.

"This team is everything wrong with United right now," a second said. While a third replied: "I refuse to believe in Amorim until I see something substantial. Unless it’s Pep Guardiola, there’s no reason to stan a manager..."
