Rashford dropped! Man Utd and Man City name XIs for PL clash
Ruben Amorim and Pep Guardiola have named their starting XIs for the first Manchester derby between the two sides.
Amorim has opted to move Amad Diallo from wing back into his front three, with Noussair Mazraoui moving to wingback and Harry Maguire returning to the heart of defence.
There is also a rare start for Mason Mount, with neither Marcus Rashford nor Alejandro Garnacho in the starting XI, with both entirely absent while Kobbie Mainoo is on the substitutes bench.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola has opted to recall Ederson in place of Stefan Ortega in goal, while Bernardo Silva appears set to play at left-back, though Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland both start.
