Confirmed Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Fulham, Garnacho on the bench, Mazraoui starts

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has made one change to the starting line-up for the Premier League curtain-raiser against Fulham tonight.

The Red Devils suffered a penalty shoot-out defeat to Manchester City in the Community Shield last weekend.

They created plenty of clear-cut chances during the derby at the Wembley Stadium and could have easily won the game with better decision-making.

Ten Hag has made a solitary change from that defeat for tonight’s league opener versus Fulham.

Andre Onana starts in goal as usual. The Cameroon international has been ever-present for the Red Devils and has missed just one game since last season.

Defender Jonny Evans has dropped to the bench. Noussair Mazraoui makes his debut and could start at right-back with Diogo Dalot on the opposite flank.

Lisandro Martinez is set to partner Harry Maguire in the heart of the backline. Matthijs de Ligt is on the bench which is unsurprising, given his lack of pre-season minutes.

Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo continue in the centre of the park. The former was brilliant versus City and has the chance to carry the momentum into the new league season.

Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford start on the flanks, while Mason Mount occupies the attacking midfield role for United.

Bruno Fernandes looks set to feature in the false nine position. Joshua Zirkzee could make his debut off the bench, given he has barely played since the end of May.

Jadon Sancho is not in the matchday squad, raising doubts over his future.

Confirmed Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Fulham: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Mount, Rashford; Fernandes.

Substitutes: Bayindir, De Ligt, Evans, Eriksen, McTominay, Collyer, Antony, Zirkzee, Garnacho.
