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.

      No Bruno gamble didn't really pay off as yet. Probably only be able to tell properly at the end of the season or at least after next GW.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years

    21. Nightcrawler

      If this was Utd it would never be overturned

      Salah cappers robbed

        sadly weve seen that happen before

        Like when bruno stamped on a villa player and then screamed and got a pen and VAR didnt over turn it

    22. HNI
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Here we go another penalty with Manutd

    23. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Joke. Would have been a pen for Penandes. Salah captain fail.

      1. A. PRISE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        That's unfortunately true

      2. Rassi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        The sad part is you really believe that.

    24. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That’s even more of a joke when you consider if it was a saints player, he’d have been sent off...

    25. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Premier league refs this year are probably the worst in Europe. Not sure how they manage to get so many decisions wrong with VAR in place

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Var saved that one

        1. A. PRISE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I still don't understand how Kane's goal against Leeds was disallowed

    26. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Weirdly no penalty is right ; but a red card for dangerous play should've been given. Studs up straight into the leg.

      1. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Say what now?

      2. WVA

        Good god man

      3. Pat Bonner

        Interesting take

      4. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If you think its a red card for foul play then it means its obviously a foul therefore a penalty. Not sure if you are just trolling!

      5. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Madness.

    27. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What's more shocking is how high Phillips jumped and fell to the floor with so little contact!
