Man Utd have named their starting XI to face Brighton in the FA Cup third round on Sunday afternoon.
Manchester United have made three changes to their starting line up to face Brighton in the FA Cup third round. Darren Fletcher takes charge of only his second match as interim head coach and has decided to freshen his side from the midweek draw with Burnley.
United have dropped Ayden Heaven and Casemiro to the bench from the starting line up, while Luke Shaw has missed out on the entire matchday squad for just the second time this season. Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount are the three players brought into the line up, while Patrick Dorgu has swapped his right wing role for the left-back position.
Shaw is the only player to have started every Premier League match for United this season, but the 30-year-old has now missed both of their cup matches. He was absent from the shock League Cup exit to Grimsby Town and has been 'rotated' for the Brighton match amid the busy fixture list.
