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.

      I brought Hendo in, turned into an awful keeper immediately, he's making me lose points!

    Points for everyone

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      And yet not really

  14. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Always the risk when you are pressing like that for an equaliser. Shocking from Matic though to lose the ball there

  15. Top Lad Dakes.

    Bamford or Antonio in this week, and likely for rest of the season?

    Got Lingard for the hammers, getting Dallas for Leeds too

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Antonio

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      This is such a tough one. I'm leaning towards Antonio, but it's a really difficult choice to be fair.

  16. dark91

    Yeeeeees Salah (c) makes the decision of not captaining Bruno a bit easier

  17. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah rested

  18. Monklane
    • 14 Years

    Wonder which of tonight's games will be first on Match Of The Day?

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

      Exactly.

      I literally just posted he’s the fourth top scorer this year. Maybe more now?!

  21. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    United have been absolutely embarrassed here.

    Lucky they had one of their refs to save it getting out of hand.

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

      Fun game though

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You were sh1tting bricks 10mins ago

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

    161 and counting.

    Maybe my best game week score so far.

    (Bench boost contributing 27)

  23. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Henderson giving Salah the whole goal to aim at. Shite keeper

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

      I can turn any player shite by bringing them in

  24. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years

    Get Bruno out of bonus ffs

    1. Rabb05
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Absolute joke he's picking up a bonus. If ever there was any doubt the bonus system was rigged that's been put to bed

    SALAH TRIPLE CAPTAINNNN

    1. james 101

      Well done!

  26. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    With only 3 game weeks to play and the lack of inform or available strikers in 36 could Firmino with good fixtures be a big differential to anyone chasing their ML ?

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

    Who would have thought selling Leno would be one of the worst transfers of the season

  28. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Huge result for Liverpool. Could they make top 4?

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

      Yes

  29. The Suspended One

    Stop the count!!!

  30. Sun Jihai

    Salah rested for WBA 😎

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
