Rashford absent for Man United’s trip to Wolves

Marcus Rashford (£7.6m) was not named in Manchester United’s matchday squad to face Wolves on Tuesday night.

It is understood by the Manchester Evening News that the forward missed out on the Molineux encounter because of an illness.

It means that Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) returns to the starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 30.

The Belgian is flanked by Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) and FPL defender Diogo Dalot (£5.3m) in a front three.

Anthony Martial (£7.2m) has been named on the bench while Paul Pogba (£8.9m), Fred (£5.4m) and Scott McTominay (£4.2m) are selected as the midfield trio.

Victor Lindelöf (£5.1m) returns at centre-back after missing the Watford game, and plays in defence alongside Chris Smalling (£5.6m), Luke Shaw (£5.1m) and captain Ashley Young (£5.7m).

Meanwhile, Wolves have restored Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) and Matt Doherty (£5.4m) to the side after they were beaten 2-0 at Burnley on Saturday.

It is certainly a much stronger looking outfit with those two back, while Ryan Bennett (£4.1m) returns from suspension.

Ruben Vinagre (£4.3m), who has shown statistical promise in his recent performances, comes in for Jonny (£4.3m) at left-back.

After much concern over rotation, Troy Deeney (£5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£5.7m) both started both Double Gameweek 32 matches, the second seeing them host Fulham.

That selection comes in spite of Watford playing Wolves in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final.

In fact, Javi Gracia’s only changes to the side that lost at Manchester United on Saturday are all in defence.

Daryl Janmaat (£4.9m), Christian Kabasele (£4.4m) and Adam Masina (£4.3m) all drop the bench while Miguel Britos (£4.3m) misses out entirely.

Coming in for the quartet are José Holebas (£4.8m), Adrian Mariappa (£4.2m), Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) and Kiko Femenía (£4.2m).

After they missed out on the defeat to Manchester City, Tim Ream (£4.2m) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.4m) return to the Fulham side.

Watford XI: Foster; Kiko, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas; Hughes, Doucouré, Capoue, Pereyra; Deulofeu, Deeney.

Fulham XI: Rico; Christie, Ream, Le Marchand, Bryan; Anguissa, Chambers; Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon; Mitrovic.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Rúben Vinagre; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Lindelöf, Smalling, Young; Pogba, Fred, McTominay; Lingard, Lukaku, Dalot.

      If you don't start Bednarek at that price should you even own him?

      I'd convinced myself I was going to get 38 points tonight from 3 United players. Currently on 0

      Who needs points when you had a vague hope for an assist 😎

    Young was in my squad for one week - he will never, ever be anywhere near my squad for however long FF exists.

    Pogba isn’t far behind him....

    And Rashford’s treading on dangerous ground....

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years

      I hear you...went a little different with Deulofeu too...what a careless move... 🙁

    Bye Fulham

  10. diesel001

    This will be a good test for Wolves. Can they beat a 10 man Man Utd?

    There have been other teams in a similar situation vs Utd and they have drawn or lost.

  11. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Jones on
    Fred off

    The game week that keeps taking - put Young in as a differential from my ML

    Hughes G, goal of the season contender 😮

  16. Sif
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Pogba on 4
    I'm going to pretend it's a single game week and he came off on 59 with an assist.

  17. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Will Hughes essential. Goal and assist

  18. jamie1972
    • 7 Years

    My last minute FH change (10 mins before deadline) was to downgrade Azpi to Luiz so I could upgrade PVA to Young.

    Beat that.

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years

      Unbeatable.

  19. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Boly is only 1 point behind Pogba. Come on

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Had Hughes as part of my 6 man midfield on one draft 🙁

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      he is forward in fpl

  21. diesel001

    By avoiding Utd defence I get to keep the hope of a CS for another day. Small mercies.

    1. Team Cruel

      Spoon-fed casuals winning again

  22. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    If Pogba doesn't get anything more in this game and change my mind. Does him to Ozil/Ramsey make sense this week?

      Young and pogba here. Great night, zero points which could still get worse as young will still lose points for goals conceded. Not a great FH score so far with 56 and already kun (c) already out for tomorrow.
