Paul Pogba (£7.8m) returns to the Manchester United line-up as the Red Devils travel to Cardiff City on Saturday evening.

The Frenchman has been absent for the last three Premier League Gameweeks under Jose Mourinho, but new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has shown faith in him.

There are also starts for Marcus Rashford (£7.0m) and Anthony Martial (£7.3m) with Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) joining them in thr forward line.

Meanwhile, Solskjaer has gone with Luke Shaw (£4.9m), Phil Jones (£5.1m), Victor Lindelöf (£4.8m) and Ashley Young (£5.7m) for his back-four.

Neil Warnock made no surprise selections for Cardiff as Callum Paterson (£5.3m) continues to lead the line, with Victor Camarasa (£4.6m) operating just behind him, Josh Murphy (£4.8m) and Junior Hoilett (£5.0m) on the wings.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge; Cunningham, Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Arter, Gunnarsson; Murphy, Camarasa, Hoilett; Paterson.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Jones, Lindelof, Young; Herrera, Matic, Pogba; Martial, Rashford, Lingard.

        Thanks. Like the looks of yours too. You sure on Hart though?

  9. JustPark

    Townsend? Herrera does it better!

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Townsend's goal is the best I've seen all season. This was nothing.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This

      2. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Townsend’s goal wasn’t as good as Hazard v Liverpool.

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Go to sleep, load of BS.

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He...does not.

    3. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Townsend was pure force.
      Herrera did it with a trick down to it to fool Etheridge.
      It was that tiny detail that makes it better!

  10. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Need a Tony goal here

  11. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Fraser to Rich, Laporte to Kola for a -4?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't sell Fraser

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Why?

      2. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

  12. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

  13. JJO

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hmm...what about Wilson to Rash?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I would, 2 horrible fixtures for Wilson

      2. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years

    2. Salah4Ever
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I did Wilson to Rash before deadline , probably the only correct decision on the WC

  15. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    2. HNI
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago
