New signing Matthijs de Ligt will not start for Manchester United against Fulham this evening.
With no match practice since early June, De Ligt was always a long shot to start the game despite United’s habitual defensive injury crisis.
One player who does start is Mason Mount, who is almost like a new signing himself after missing the majority of last season with injury.
With Rasmus Hojlund injured, it is likely Bruno Fernandes will play in the false nine, with Mount behind him as was the case in the Community Shield.
Amad Diallo continues to hold down the right wing starting spot, with Antony, Jadon Sancho and Facu Pellistri missing out.
