Senne Lammens is in goal for Manchester United today for the first time as Ruben Amorim’s men welcome Sunderland to Old Trafford.
Mason Mount also comes into the starting lineup, with Matheus Cunha making way.
The Brazilian’s absence is a surprise, with many fans seeing him as one of the best players of the season so far.
The confirmed XI is as follows:
