Manchester United make shock line up decision as defender replaces Bruno Fernandes at No.10 vs Fenerbahce
The confirmed Man Utd team news and starting line up for their Europa League clash against Fenerbahce.
Manchester United have named a shock selection in their starting line up to face Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Erik ten Hag is without the suspended club captain Bruno Fernandes for the clash in Turkey and has opted to play defender Noussair Mazraoui in the attacking midfield role instead.
United have a midfield shortage going into the game with Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro the only fit senior options available to Ten Hag. Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount both miss the match through injury and were not part of the 20-man travelling squad for the fixture.
The official Uefa team sheet lists Mazroaui at No.10 for the match against Jose Mourinho’s side, with Joshua Zirkzee selected in favour of Rasmus Hojlund in attack. Ugarte and Eriksen start in central midfield with Casemiro on the bench.
Victor Lindelof has been selected to partner Matthijs de Ligt in central defence, with Lisandro Martinez at left-back and Diogo Dalot on the right. Teenage duo Harry Amass and Habeeb Ogunneye have each been named amongst the substitutes.
United XI vs Fenerbahce: Onana, Lindelof, De Ligt, Martinez (c), Dalot, Mazraoui, Ugarte, Garnacho, Eriksen, Rashford, Zirkzee
Subs: Bayindir, Heaton, Amass, Ogunneye, Casemiro, Amad, Antony, Hojlund, Wheatley
