Joshua Zirkzee will start at centre forward for Manchester United against Everton today.
Head coach Ruben Amorim has kept to his word with heavy rotation once again in the United side.
Rasmus Hojlund is rested after his excellent performance against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday.
Zirkzee will be joined in the starting lineup by Kobbie Mainoo, who will be playing his first minutes under Amorim. Mainoo will play alongside Casemiro in central midfield.
Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes play as the twin 10’s behind Zirkzee.
Andre Onana is in goal.
The back three remains unchanged, with Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez all starting.
Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot are the wing backs.
Harry Maguire returns to the squad following injury and is on the bench alongside Altay Bayindir, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Manuel Ugarte, Mason Mount, Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony.
Christian Eriksen is not on the bench, suggesting there could be an injury.
Kick off at Old Trafford is at 1.30pm GMT.
