Revealed: Our team to face Chelsea

Ruud van Nistelrooy has selected his Manchester United side to take on Chelsea in today’s 16:30 GMT kick-off.

It’s the Dutchman’s first Premier League game as interim head coach, following on from Wednesday night’s 5-2 success over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup.

The Reds’ line-up includes three changes from that win against the Foxes, as Andre Onana returns in goal.

The Cameroon international was rested in midweek, with Altay Bayindir playing in his stead, but Onana maintains his 100 per cent top-flight appearance record for the Reds today.

Noussair Mazraoui is in for Victor Lindelof in defence, which suggests that Lisandro Martinez will play centrally after filling in at left-back against Steve Cooper’s side.

Rasmus Hojlund comes into the side in place of Joshua Zirkzee and will lead the line.

Today’s visitors have completely changed their team, after Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat at Newcastle, as Enzo Maresca continues to separate his squad for league and cup games.
