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.

    The definition of justice:

    When your ultra jammy casual ML main rival has Aguero C and Alonso.

    And has no chips left and only 4 players next week.

      How come people apologise for stupid top page posts except when it’s justified?

      Ah, so it's you that's 2nd in my ML.

    40% of my total score this GW happened in the first 15 minutes of the GW. Promised so much. Still, only 3k down in rank so most people hurting in top 100k

    I have a bad feeling the slow boat from Argentina could be benched tomorrow Night

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

      Lamela?

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

        Higuain

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      General Belgrano?

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

    Anyway, considering ditching Pogba for the rest of the season. Madness?

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

      I'm doing it

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

        WC the week after so considering a move for Fabs currently with 1 FT. Maybe ditch Pogba instead? He's blank anyway.

    2. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You will change your mind when he scored tonight

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

        Hopefully a penalty.

    3. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      West Ham at home next though and their defence is terrible.

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

    Is there a possibility for 6 English teams to qualify for next year's CL? (If f.ex. whoever finishes outside the top 4 out of Arsenal/Chelsea and Spurs/United win the EL and CL respectively) Or did UEFA restrict the number of teams per league?

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

      Nah Britain won't be able to play with the bloc

      uncertainty surrounding Brexit has cost Britain £600 million pounds each week since the 2016 referendum.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years

        are you ok?

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      4th would miss out if that happened.

      1. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        4th misses out if a team from outside the 4 wins the CL... Max would be 5.

    Snow in the air. If postponed which GW will this game be added to?

      DGW1

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Lukaku needs to bury those type of chances in the back of the net

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

      As opposed to his back garden?

  11. Demel
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On a Wildcard...

    XXXX- Ryan
    Valery - Dunk - Duffy - Kola - TAA
    Mane - Tielmans - McNeil - XXXX- Sterling
    Kane (Vardy 1 week) - Aguero - XXXX

    A) Leno/JWP/Aubameyang
    B) Gunn/Ramsey/Lacazette

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

      Gunn/JWP/Auba

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

        This

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

        JWP over Ramsey? Gunn over Leno? Not convinced.

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

          Ramsey is too much of a rotation risk, but admittedly the only Arsenal mid I'd consider.
          Arsenal not the best at clean sheets, before yesterday only WHU, Hudd, Brighton and Fulham had fewer than them (I know I'm advocating Ryan).

  12. gelisiguzel
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Fab*
    TAA - Pereira - Luiz - Diop*
    Salah - Hazard - Mane - Tielemans
    Rondon - Vardy

    Subs: Speroni, Pogba, Jiminez, Doherty
    3.3 ITB

    any suggestion on upgrading players with * ??
    I think Speroni to Guaita could be another option since I need to use my BB in following weeks and Guaita sounds not bad.

    So no Rashford, no Aguero. What a disappointing DGW

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Horribly shitty season

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      DGWs always tend to be a let down

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years

      rash is cheap and got 7pts. hardly end of world

  14. My heart goes Salalalalah

    Where’s Pogba playing?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Molineux

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

      Everywhere.

    3. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Deep

    4. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If only I could spell the name of the ground Wolves play on I'd be able to make an excellent joke.

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

        Further forward than Fred, and McTom, but not exactly 'advanced'.

    5. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nobody can spell it 😉

  15. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What Wolves fans singing? Sound like Firmino song, i mean rhytm.

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

      Wolves version for Jimenez.

      Give the ball to Raul and he'll score.

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

    This has 0-0 all over it.

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

      Lukaku nearly scored a few minutes ago. I would be happy enough with 0-0.

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

        “Lukaku nearly scored”

        Exactly.

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

          You were saying...

    Think Pogba needs to sharpen up?

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

      His hairline isn't enough?

  18. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford has ankle injury, not illness or knock imo.

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

      He has an illness.

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

      How did you come up with that opinion?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        He's good for sniffing out the info.

    Thankfully that Wolves CS is gone.

    Now for a Wolves equaliser not scored by Jimenez or Doherty.
