Confirmed United XI vs Rangers: Onana dropped, Maguire, Ugarte, Mazraoui rested

Ruben Amorim has made several changes to his Manchester United starting XI for tonight’s Europa League clash against Rangers at Old Trafford.

Andre Onana loses his position in goal despite a poor display last time around. Altay Bayindir gets another chance to impress after his heroics against Arsenal in the FA Cup.

The back three are Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez.

Diogo Dalot and Amad are the wing backs.

Noussair Mazraoui is rested.

Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans are still injured.

In central midfield, Toby Collyer and Christian Eriksen come in for Manu Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo, who are rested.

The front three are Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Josh Zirkzee.

Mason Mount is another absentee.

Antony and Alejandro Garnacho might both be leaving this month, but still make the squad.

Marcus Rashford, likewise, is the subject of a great deal of transfer speculation and has once again been omitted from the entire squad.

The substitutes’ bench contains: Tom Heaton, Onana, Maguire, Tyrell Malacia, Mazraoui, Casemiro, Ugarte, Mainoo, Antony, Hojlund.

The fact that two goalkeepers are named underlines head coach Ruben Amorim’s determination not to select Rashford.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 8pm.
