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.

    How many games until Henderson becomes first choice in goal?

      6 years, 1 month ago

      This is what ddg is thinking

  5. have you seen cyan

    lots of interesting choices around the 6-8mil mark in midfield. Grealish, Podence, Townsend, Pereira, Barnes, Fraser and Hamez.

    Hmmm which one? Barnes looked vgood last week

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha

      1. have you seen cyan
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He probably should be in that list, but he has trolled me too much. I said never again!

    Won't be surprised if DDG is dropped after this game... So poor, looks completely devoid of any confidence

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ole doesn't have the bottle.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        6 years, 1 month ago

        well he better find that bottle

      2. KGFC
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He'll be forced to pick up the bottle with these DDG performances 😆

  7. Royal5

    DeGea shocking so far

    1. Egg noodle
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Has been for 3 years now

    2. THE Wild Rover
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can’t fault him for the goal

      1. sminkypinky
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Agree completely

    Great tackle by DDG to prevent a shot from an open net, silencing his haters 😎

  9. Rainer

    DDG putting himself in the shop window.

  10. Keep Calm and Play On
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno looking a bit shaky, which is odd because he played well for Portugal

  11. Gudjohnsen
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Benched Mitchell but started Martial.

    Mistake?

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lol relax

    2. Egg noodle
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno injured

      1. Gobigorgohome
        6 years, 1 month ago

        wrong post

    4. Forza

      Just delete your team, don't bother with the remaining 75 minutes of the match.

  12. Bobby Crush
    6 years, 1 month ago

    zaha held back....not good

  13. Rolls-Royce
    6 years, 1 month ago

    We look so bad here.

  14. Ze_Austin

    De Gea fighting for Dean's development

    Good lad

  15. Andy_Social
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Uh oh. Bruno down

  16. ivantys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno injured

    1. james 101
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Up again yet?

  17. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Reguillon confirmed.

    Wingbacks with himself & Doherty could bring two good options at Spurs, if Jose can sort them out.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Might have to get rid of Davies

      1. Rainer
        6 years, 1 month ago

        LCB maybe but having no Spurs for a while doesn't look an issue.

  18. james 101
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Palace attack seems to think they are Everton...

  19. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That looked a pen on Bruno.

    1. KGFC
      6 years, 1 month ago

      😆

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Haha don’t get them going

  20. Pedram

    Bruno dead

  21. Cok3y5murf

    Bruno looks out

  22. Brosstan

    Bruno captain fail...

  23. L'Aeroplanino
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno down

  24. Gudjohnsen
    6 years, 1 month ago

    United look as bad as under Mourinho.

  25. Dain Bramage
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wan bizzy bee is a major miss

  26. Seanigula
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Just stay on that bench, Mr. Wan-Bissaka, ha ha

  27. Rolls-Royce
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Mitchell looks like a 12 year old

  28. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ah so this is what united fans were ignoring Salah GW1 for

  29. Vpan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Zouma nailed?

    1. Egg noodle
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not nailed, but likely to keep his spot.

  30. THE Wild Rover
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba should be booked for persistent fouling

    1. THE Wild Rover
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Then subbed

    2. Seanigula
      6 years, 1 month ago

      then sold

    3. Piggs Boson
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mourinho would love him fouling in the transitions.

    4. Rogue Todd
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Then tarred and feathered

    5. Pukki Blinders
      6 years, 1 month ago

      then retired
