Manchester United take on Arsenal in their Premier League curtain-raiser this afternoon.
Ahead of the game, manager Ruben Amorim has named his starting line-up.
Altay Bayindir has got the nod in goal ahead of Andre Onana.
The latter had three training sessions after his return from a hamstring injury, but has not made the matchday squad.
In front of him, Amorim has gone for a back three of Leny Yoro, De Ligt and Luke Shaw.
Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu start in the right and left wing-back positions respectively.
In central midfield, Casemiro has got the nod to partner captain Bruno Fernandes today.
Summer signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo start alongside Mason Mount.
Cunha and Mbeumo should feature as the attacking midfielders with Mount leading the line.
? Here it is…
