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.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          11 points 'so far'

  4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

  12. JBG
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Whoever thought Young was a good option for this GW.... As I said when I read it, he is a nothing player, just hoofs the ball up the right side and hopes something good happens. Such a poor player, happy I won't have to see him play the next two matches.

  13. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Deeney, Laca and Kane as front 3 on a WC?

      Casuals

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Typical. Load up on the City assets expecting them to demolish Fulham and instead it's Watford doing the job!

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      well, a lot of them loaded up on foster & deulofeu and got nothing of that demolishing..

  20. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Martial ON,dont get YC now.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Makes little difference?

  21. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Is this the year of the casuals/mavericks or is it just my skewed opinion.

    I don't ever seem to recall a year where if you strayed from the template you aren't being punished and in many cases being rewarded for taking risks. Seems like all the research and planning have gone out the window more times this season (at least in the second half anyway) more than I can ever recall

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Too many were lulled into the template due to gw1 and stuck with the community team

        1. Keep Calm and Play On
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Could be but I just feel that points are coming from everywhere this year and are very sporadic, whereas in previous years you knew if you didn't have a certain player you would be giving up 5-6 points easily. Maybe its just not the year of the big hitters performing regularly.

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 4 days ago

              That also seems about right

        2. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Every year is the casuals year

      • Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Question is... On wc:

        A) Deeney and Fraser
        B) King and Delu

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Double D?

        2. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Hmmm, not sure about that.

      • Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        I can smell a Doherty winner here

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Likely off next pause.

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            😮
