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.

    1. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

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

      Damn was enjoying Utd being Banter FC up to this point of the season too.

  2. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Martial would never made that run under Mouronho

  3. N00B
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Why no Rashford assist ?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It was Lingard no?

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Why would it be a Rashford assist?

    3. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lingard assisted

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      thought same initially but he didnt touch it

  4. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I want to get excited about United assets......but it’s Cardiff?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      And next GW it's only Huddersfield

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        True, but they’re better than Cardiff

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          no they arent

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It's the way they are doing it though, they have always been top players, just the wrong manager for those players

  5. F_Ivanovic
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Calm down everyone it's only Cardiff.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Source?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Haha, timing, above

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

      People were predicting a Cardiff victory until yesterday.

  6. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I'm warming upto the idea of Sane + Brooks ➡ Martial + Richarlison for -4.

    Thoughts?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not for a hit

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

      Why remove Sane? Was actually thinking of getting him. Was he so bad today?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Can see similar outputs for a lesser price.

        Can see him benched next gw as well.

  7. Norregard
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    So last night I transferred Martial and Salah out, brought Hazard and Sané in AND changed captaincy from Auba to Sané.

    Only costing me about 40 points. Well done.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      My hero

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Could have been worse

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Well done.

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

      This is the roughest I’ve seen this week.

    5. Norregard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Just praying to stay somewhere inside the top 25k.

    6. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      This makes me feel better

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

      You kept Martial for liv but couldnt for cardiff. Next what? Will take out Haz against easy match

      1. Norregard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Well, we've all done things we regret. Hindsight 20/20.

        I took him out because he was the only one I could upgrade to a City asset (Sané).

  8. french holiday
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    People ripping their teams to fit United assets....

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

      Point chasing for 0.1m rises is the new trend.

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Damn Rainer. That discussion we had before the game. Rashford and Martial May have to be my moves ha

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’m not that’s for damn sure

    3. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Already ripped my team to get Pogba. Working well so far

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

    United are playing well because they were always a bunch of talented lads with a nice bit of experience. Mourinho was suffocating them and now the virus has gone and with him, the toxic atmosphere. They're gonna fly and I'm a City fan.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What's being a Stoke fan got to do with anything?

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

        Where's the humour?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Left on the bench.

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

            You sound a lot like your username.

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

      But out of curiosity, even when mou was coach, why don't players be more attacking? Will they get blasted by mou for scoring nice goals?

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Because they are players with sick mentality who will do whatever to it takes to get rid of manager

        And its getting common nowadays...

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

        Don't we know Mou's love with defensive tactics? Why do you think players fell out with him?

  10. Ahmed Adam
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Monreal, Laca To Rashford and Digne for -4?

    Any Thoughts

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

    Laca + Kenedy to Martial + Rashford (-4)?

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

      Do it

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

      Not for a hit. Only Laca to Rash will do it.

  12. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    which ?

    A- Schindler peryera kamara -4 to bednarek romeu/white rashford
    B- schindler anderson kamara -4 to bednarek snod rashford
    C- anderson peryera to snod martial

    Thoughts? Will WC after next GW, Lacazette to who before I do??

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

      Marcus

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Already got him, check the link

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

        Ings. They will score vs WH.

  14. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    No captain blanks all season then get two in a row, thanks sterling what a nice thing to finish work to 🙂

  15. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    It's going to be hard to pick which united attacker to pursue. Anyone have a favoured target?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I've got Martial, keeping him.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes I do like him. Plus its harder to find in Rashford in my team.

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Surprised...with so many mid options Rashford is an easier fit for me.

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

      In order:

      Martial
      Pogba
      Rashford
      Lingard

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Herrera.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        There's a limit

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      martial is better value but more competition in that price bracket with midfielders i think

      i have rashford

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

    Those who saved WC till now might be the real winners.. to get United assets in..

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      lol

  17. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is this crazy for a -4.
    Auba, success and ward to rashford, martial and jimenez?
    Instead of auba it can be Kane also. I basically can get rid of 2 bench fodder with really downside being selling auba.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      yes

  18. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Sane & Sterling -> Salah & Martial worth doing for free?

    Fabs
    Kola, Trent, Doherty
    Sterling, Son, Sane, FAnderson, Camarasa
    Kane, Auba

    Steele, Kamara, Holebas, Balbuena
    Bank 0.0m, 2FT

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      That kneejerk bro

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

      Where Mancity so bad? I was thinking of keeping Sterling

  19. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    United assets are really cheap

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

      Alexis says hi

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He ia talking about their character 😛

  20. Lukakwho
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Richa and Wilson > Rashford and Martial with exact funds tonight?

    1. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hold Richarlison.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        this

  21. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) Sucess to Jimi
    Or
    B) Fraser to Martial

  22. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How things have changed.

    Three United goals, and the days average only goes up by a couple of points.

  23. TerryVenables
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Laporte > Shaw or Young?
    Fixtures too good

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking something similar.

  24. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Fraser + Wilson -> Martial + Ings(-4)?

    Yay or nay?

  25. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Btw hello from Malaga. Been in Tangiers all week. Looked cold at Wolverhampton last night, hope you've freezed your nuts off.

  26. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What are chances of son not featuring tomorrow got Camarasa first on the bench

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

      0 minutes, very slim.

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

        This

  27. Yeyeyeyeye
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Sane and Phillips to Pogba and martial taking it too far right?

  28. Ain't No Holebas Girl
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Utd looking fluid without Lukaku, interesting to see where he fits in

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He doesn’t I’m afraid

      1. Ain't No Holebas Girl
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed, Utd assets look much more appealing as long as he's out but whether Solskjær keeps him benched when back is another matter

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rich hasn't even played yet. Plus he's got good fixtures and cheap for effectively a centre forward.

    3. GXNG
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He doesn’t

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

    Wilson to Rashford or play AWB/Wilson? AWB has Cardiff at home

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      awb

  30. Ha.
    • 10 Years
