Jose Mourinho has handed a debut to Alexis Sanchez in their FA Cup match at Yeovil.

Sanchez, who finalised his move from Arsenal earlier in the week, has been named alongside Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata in the United attack. 

The starting XI also features a number of changes, with Michael Carrick – starting his first game since September – perhaps the most notable.

There is also no place in the squad for David De Gea, Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba – all of which are rested with the Premier League meeting with Tottenham at Wembley scheduled for next week. 

Here is the United team:

Kick off is at 19.55, with the game broadcast live on BBC One.
