Mason Greenwood (£7.5m) finds himself on the bench as Manchester United start their Premier League campaign a week late.

The 18-year-old was a fixture on the right-hand side of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attacking midfield trio during Project Restart, but his place has been handed to Daniel James (£6.5m) today.

The Manchester United boss has made two surprising decisions on the right-hand side of the pitch as Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) loses out to Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) in defence.

Outside of that, the Red Devils line up mostly as we would expect. Anthony Martial (£9.0m) leads the line, supported by Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) on the left and Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) in the number 10 role.

There will be plenty of eyes on those two players as Jan Sienkiewicz pointed out in the most recent captaincy article that Crystal Palace have shown some weakness from set pieces and down their right flank in open play.

Roy Hodgson’s men arrive at Old Trafford in their traditional 4-4-2 formation, Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) once again deployed out of position as a centre-forward alongside Jordan Ayew (£6.0m).

Budget defender Tyrick Mitchell (£4.0m) keeps his place in the side at left-back, although the defensive injury crisis at Palace eases slightly with the return of Mamadou Sakho (£4.5m) at centre-back.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Fosu-Mensah; Pogba, McTominay; Rashford, B Fernandes, D James; Martial.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; Mitchell, Sakho, Kouyaté, J Ward; Schlupp, McCarthy, McArthur, Townsend; Zaha, Ayew.

    And this is exactly why you don't put players in before watching them play first Same will go for KDB or Sterling. Better to wait and analyse the stats first

      Nah you can trust the likes of KDB and Sterling to be on it. They are a different level to Utd

    Auba Son Havertz Pereira Bisouma
    Werner Mitro Ings

    Had a dreadful first week because No Salah. 2FT so thinking a mini wildcard, Auba Havertz Ings to KDB Hamez and DCL. Thoughts?

    If Ole is smart he’ll sub Pogba off for VDB. Pogba has been terrible.

    1. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He is a terrible player but doesn't think any less of himself. P*ss poor player imo.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years

        Watch that mouth buddy, you're talking about a ballon d'or runner up

    Stray limb from Maguire, caution.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      If he was a stray lamb, Mary would put him down.

    We seem to start every season needing 4-5 players. Get Woodward and the Glazers out. Ole isn’t good enough either.

    1. All about the galacticos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      yeah why we haven't looked at nuno? ole is pure nostalgia, who next giggs?

  9. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Maguire is so rubbish

  10. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Schlupp looking like a great pick.

  11. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    We should have sold Pogba when he was worth something..

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Should never have bought him. SAF got rid of him for good reason

      1. KGFC
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Exactly!
        He is good for marketing purposes only.

      2. The Train Driver
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Hindsight, agree...

  12. potatoace

    Pogba is rubbish.

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years

    Harry Maguire is funny to watch. Such a crap player

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno off for Donny?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      McT would be my guess

  16. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    The Beek Man cometh

  17. Not the first time Maguire has had his name taken down this summer

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Get him to the Greek

  18. Hattrick Harry
    • 6 Years

  19. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years

    Pogba is a joke

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Time to sell

      To chelsea

  20. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    The amount of goals we scored past slab head when he was at Leicester was criminal, still rubbish.

  21. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    get pogba off

  22. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    What a disgusting performance this has been from Pogba. His passing is that bad that it looks like he's deliberately passing it to Palace players. Get the clown off!

  23. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Has Martial had any sort of shot all match? On or off target?

  24. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Why is DCL flagged?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Went off and put an ice pack on his thigh

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hammy worries.

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Had an ice pack strapped to his thigh after he was subbed. Said in post match interview that he was ok, but enough for FPL to flag him.

    4. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Oh no

  25. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Maybe this should be Palace's first choice back 4.

    1. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sakho or Guaita could be the best picks

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      PvA will get his spot back for sure

  26. Ser Davos
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    They guy who finished second in 14-15 (or 16-17) when Simon March won was 100,000 with 10 weeks to go

    Don't give up

  27. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Over 100k players sold Salah last week AFTER he scored a hat trick.

    Most in a mad rush to get Fernandes 🙂

    Makes you chuckle.

    1. Hattrick Harry
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      This, there are so many absolute idiots involved in this game

  28. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Ings set to fall tonight and DCL set to rise.

    Worth doing the swap tonight without seeing Ings play?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      DCL faces this Palace team next week

      1. Jimjam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Good point

  29. bootsmanus
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Who takes Everton's penalties?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No one knows

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sigurdsson did last season.

    3. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe James. We don't really know

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hamez, I would place money on it.
      Maybe Siggy does if he is on the pitch but I dont see him being on the pitch too often

    5. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Baines

  30. KGFC
    • 9 Years
