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.

    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, 5 days ago

      Lamela?

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Higuain

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      General Belgrano?

  7. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

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

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I'm doing it

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days 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, 5 days ago

      You will change your mind when he scored tonight

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Hopefully a penalty.

    3. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

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

  8. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 days 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, 5 days 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

        are you ok?

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      4th would miss out if that happened.

      1. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

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

  9. Team Cruel

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

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

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      As opposed to his back garden?

  11. Demel

    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
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Gunn/JWP/Auba

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        This

      2. Demel
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        JWP over Ramsey? Gunn over Leno? Not convinced.

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 days 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, 5 days 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Horribly shitty season

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      DGWs always tend to be a let down

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

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

  14. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years

    Where’s Pogba playing?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Molineux

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Everywhere.

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Deep

    4. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days 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
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

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

    5. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Nobody can spell it 😉

  15. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

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

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Wolves version for Jimenez.

      Give the ball to Raul and he'll score.

  16. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    This has 0-0 all over it.

    1. Demel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

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

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        “Lukaku nearly scored”

        Exactly.

        1. Demel
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          You were saying...

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Only top left corner for me

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

    Think Pogba needs to sharpen up?

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      His hairline isn't enough?

  18. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Rashford has ankle injury, not illness or knock imo.

    1. Demel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      He has an illness.

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      How did you come up with that opinion?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        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.
