Man Utd face Everton in the Premier League Summer Series and their starting XI is in.
Bryan Mbeumo has been named in the Manchester United starting line up to face Everton in their final match of the Premier League Summer Series on Sunday night. United have already defeated both West Ham and Bournemouth in the pre-season tournament and will win the competition if they avoid defeat to Everton in Atalanta.
Mbeumo has not featured for United in either of their previous US friendlies since he officially completed his move from Brentford last month due to fitness issues. The 25-year-old did not return to pre-season training with Brentford prior to his United transfer and has been using their pre-season schedule to get up to speed with his new teammates.
The Cameroon international is one of several changes to the United line up for the match, with Matheus Cunha and Amad both also named in their side for the clash. There is no recognised striker in the starting XI, with Ruben Amorim set to use a false nine for the clash.

Altay Bayindir returns in place of Tom Heaton in goal, with Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw selected in the three defensive roles. Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte resume their midfield partnership, with Diogo Dalot selected in one of the wing-back roles.
It remains to be seen how the rest of the line up will function with Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo all capable of playing in either an attacking midfield, or false nine role.
United XI vs Everton: Bayindir, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Amad, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot, Fernandes, Mbeumo, Cunha. Subs: Heaton, Mee, Maguire, Mount, Hojlund, Dorgu, Casemiro, Heaven, Leon, Obi, Fredricson, Kone, Collyer, Williams, Mantato.
