Key Man United assets return but Greenwood and Mané benched at Old Trafford

Manchester United name a strong team to face Liverpool in their final match of Triple Gameweek 35.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) and Edinson Cavani (£8.0m) all return to the attack although Mason Greenwood (£7.2m) misses out on a third start in as many matches, named on the bench.

Paul Pogba (£7.6m) also comes back into the side and looks side to feature on the left-hand side of attacking midfield, which would see Rashford take up the right-hand position again.

Manchester United’s defence is also back to relative full-strength with Luke Shaw (£5.5m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.7m) in the full-back roles either side of Victor Lindelof (£4.8m) and Eric Bailly (£4.8m), the latter standing in for an injured Harry Maguire (£5.6m).

Meanwhile, despite scoring against Southampton on Saturday, Sadio Mané (£11.7m) drops to the Liverpool bench to make way for Roberto Firmino (£9.0m).

That means a fifth-successive Premier League start for the versatile Diogo Jota (£7.0m) who, today, looks set to play in Mané’s left-wing role on the opposite flank to Mohamed Salah (£12.7m).

With Ozan Kabak (£5.0m) and Ben Davies (£4.7m) still on the sidelines alongside Virgil van Dijk (£6.2m), Joel Matip (£5.4m) and Joe Gomez (£5.2m), Nathaniel Phillips (£4.1m) and Rhys Williams (£4.0m) are Liverpool’s centre-back partnership for the second match in a row.

Triple Gameweek 35 Line-ups

Manchester United XI: Henderson; Shaw, Bailly, Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Fred; Pogba, B Fernandes, Rashford; Cavani.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, N Phillips, R Williams, Alexander-Arnold; Thiago, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Jota, Firmino, Salah.

    This could’ve been 6 or 7 if United didn’t have the refs on their side. What a game

  5. Paqueta Rice

    Fred and Matic are squad players not the midfield anchors United need

    • 8 Years

    The Good - Sold Coady and Veltman this week

    Why do so many people think Salah will be rested next game when he's fighting for golden boot?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Liverpool have 3 games left and fighting for top 4

      Salah starts them all

  10. TheDragon
    • 6 Years

    1. Bucket Man

    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

  12. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Do we see Salah playing the next 3?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why wouldn’t he? ECL spots at stake

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I think so. Slim chance to get top 4.

    I would like to let everyone know that kindly helped me earlier when I was stressing I’ve changed my mind from both options having seen TAA tonight.

    Have gone Shaw and Bruno to TAA and Mahrez. Possibly Mount to Greenwood on next GW instead of two FT for GW38

    That Salah goal a real kick in the teeth. Dumps me out of the top 100. The dream is over!

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years

  19. Garlana

    Liverpool win their last 3 and they take a top 4 spot on goal difference

    1. justaguy9
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      they will drop points away to burnley

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Am I missing something, they're four points off fourth?

    3. Vinyl78LP
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Could be a goal chase with Leicester needing to beat spurs by 3 or 4.

  23. djman102
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    TFW you captain one of only 2 players in your eleven that doesn't get at least 9 points!

  24. HaveYassineChikhaoui
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    12k to 34k, I feel sick.

    1. AlternativeB
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1200 to 487 here 😀

      1. HaveYassineChikhaoui
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

  25. justaguy9
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    so at the end i drop from 392 k to 395 k. Lol. Not much movement

  26. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    134 without TAA, Greenwood and Rashford. Happy with that tbh

  27. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is that result good or bad when it comes to West Ham players?

  28. Utopsis
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Chelsea v Leicester is HUGE for Liverpool

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

  29. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    140 with no Bruno cap. Decent score for once

  30. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      161 for me mate. I’m happy regardless. Must be one if your biggest scores ever?
