Ruben Amorim has selected Altay Bayindir to play in goal for Manchester United tonight against FCSB.
The Turkish shot-stopper comes in for Andre Onana and now seems to be the first choice keeper for cup matches, both domestic and European.
Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez are the back three.
Harry Maguire is rested.
Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia are the wing backs.
Toby Collyer gets another start in central midfield alongside Kobbie Mainoo.
Manuel Ugarte has been rotated out, probably with Sunday’s match against Crystal Palace in mind.
The front three tonight are Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund.
On the bench for the Red Devils are Onana, Heaton, Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Leny Yoro, Casemiro, Ugarte, Alejandro Garnacho, Amad and Joshua Zirkzee.
Luke Shaw is back in full training but not yet match ready.
Mason Mount and Jonny Evans are still out injured. Marcus Rashford was once again omitted from the squad.
United need a point to be certain of automatic qualification for the Europa round of 16.
Kick-off in Bucharest is at 8pm.
