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.

    2. Smurf

      Why Son. He blanked (as expected) against Liverpool but still has Palace at home next.

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Jiminez didn’t start the first game either.

  10. Rainer

    Without Jimenez is there a goal?

    1. Mysterion
      • 8 Years

      😀

    2. Hazz

      Haha

    3. how now brown cow

      Is that like the tree in the forest thing?

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        chicken and egg

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

    Why on earth did I cling on to Pogba through all of this?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      This!

  12. MTPockets
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Perhaps OGS isn't actually a great mananger

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He isn't

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Exactoooo

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Judge him after the summer when he has bought Kenwyn Jones and a load of Norwegians.

      1. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        All funnelled through his mate Solbakken.
        Wasn't that impressed with his managing in Norway of recent years, let alone the PL

    4. Mario Balofail
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Like the whole utd squad...

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

    Need Kane to save the GW.

    He’s the kind of guy that can I suppose but it’s gotta be BIG.

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

      This

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

      It certainly does. Hattie at least. Cue 2 points.

    3. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      At this stage, I'd definitely rather be relying on Kane in the first game at their new stadium than Higuain.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      "Help us Obi Wan Kaneobi...you're our only hope"

  14. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Haven't seen it but it sounds like more of an assist than Salah, that's for sure...

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Way more justified

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

    Pogbexit?

  16. Party time
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ole is overhyped. I said it before and I will say it again!

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

      When ?

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

    Seems Jimmy has been given BPS as a form of compensation.

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

      Yes that just cheered me up slightly. 2 or maybe even three is basically the assist however would have been 6 of course if an assist had been given like it should.

  18. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Doesn't that Jones header hit Jiminez first then smalling? Shouldn't that be counted as an assist?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      it should be counted as a goal, being serious

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        True, on target and Smalling touch doesn't change anything

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

      He definitely get a toe on it after jones header

  19. L S P
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Well, at this point I was right about double Palace def and not owning Pogba.

    That is all.

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Can’t wait to get some watford boyos in on WC, though they won’t play Fulham every week

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I can recommend Deulofeu.

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

    There I was thinking at least I don't own Young.
    Smalling you Muppet!

  22. wilsonito
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Even as a Jiminez non owner, that should be his goal. It came off him and would have still gone in if Smalling didn’t touch it.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If he touched it better it wouldn't have gone in.

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

        You could say that for any defected goal then

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          The ball traveled twice as fast after the touch.

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

            Valid and it should be an own goal in my opinion, but not in the opinion of the rules

  23. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I'm free...free falling down the ranks

  24. Party time
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Why is that not a Jimmy assist?! fpl at it again

      https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/829593/event/32

      Probably another red arrow for him - his conservative playing style has backfired on him this season,

  27. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Smalling and Young were decent picks, UTD double defence, superb.

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

      That’s a bad combo. I was on double defence but changed to just De Gea who seems to have been best of a bad bunch. Will take my 5 points

  28. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Gray two assists great pick by Neale on the scoutcast

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Top pick...I didn’t listen mind...

  29. gaurava1216

    Pogba in peoples' WC teams now?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      nope

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nope!

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

      Nah, Everton and Man City will pummel them and he’ll walk away with his umpteenth blank

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Leaving very soon

  30. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
