The right selections?
Both Manchester United and Liverpool have made significant changes to their starting XIs for today’s clash at Old Trafford.
David De Gea, fresh from signing a new four year contract, returns for the hosts, with Sergio Romero relegated to his rightful place on the bench.
Marouane Fellaini will start at centre-forward, in what Louis van Gaal calls the ‘Niall Quinn’ role. Or so we’d like to think. The Belgian midfielder replaces the injured Wayne Rooney, while United’s new signing Anthony Martial will start on the bench.
For Liverpool, Danny Ings makes his first start for his club. The striker scored for former side Burnley at Old Trafford last season, with Emre Can, Lucas and James Milner retaining their places in midfield, and the back four the same as last time out.
The subs for United are: Marcos Rojo, Anthony Martial, Ashley Young, Sergio Romero, Antonio Valencia, Morgan Schneiderlin,Patrick McNair.
And for Liverpool: Kolo Toure, Mamadou Sakho, Alberto Moreno, Divock Origi, Jordon Ibe, Adam Bogdan, Jordan Rossiter.
