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. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        Price

      2. Futile Tinkering
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        I went with the herd but picked Shaw instead.So not all bad.

  2. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Fred, you arse.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Right said

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      I saw an attractive Tv reporter on the sideline and got distracted.

  3. Fpl Richie

    Too late to log on and grumble about Rashford?

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Nope

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Yep, missed the boat.

  4. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Why couldn’t Lindelof have had twins?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      He much preferred to give the supporters kittens with tonight's display

  5. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Red arrow with FH still isn't out of the question for me 😀

    Just hoping it can outscore my regular team at this stage....

    Ederson
    Trippier, Schlupp, Luiz, Dunk
    Hazard, Sterling
    Higuain

    Remaining, excluding those already ruled out throughout injury.

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      I expect no start for Higuain and Sterling at a minimum.

      Just noticed Jimi assist - gives my non-FH team a bigger lead.

  6. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    BTTS and Jota scores. Just Boly aswell now and it's perfect

  7. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Game on! Put some crosses in, Young!

  8. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Linesman better quality than at Cardiff. Much harder call and he got it right

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Surely a fixed game that was. Too much for a human error it was.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        Go to bed Yoda

  9. Tsparkes10

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      You ruling out Batshuayi

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Me. 5 minutes before deadline.

  11. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Fred is an utter trash player.

    1. hornetjb
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Watford signed a total of 5 players - Richarlison, Doucouré, Delofeu, Hughes and Peyrera - for less than Fred cost. Just saying...

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        Good times to be a Watford supporter. Nice exciting squad and a good manager. Deserved table placement.

          • 10 Years

      Defo
