Ruben Amorim is clearly concentrating on the Europa League now, and rightly so. He not only gives Altay Bayindir his Premier League debut – he also gives a first competitive start to Harry Amass, who has it in him to be the next Luke Shaw. The old Luke Shaw is on the bench, alongside Harry Maguire, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund, as Amorim offsets the inexperience of Bayindir and Amass with some wise old heads in Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen.
Eddie Howe’s assistant, Jason Tindall, names a strong XI. Alexander Isak is fit to lead the line and show Man U what a striker looks like. Tonali, Guimaraes and Joelinton, who ran rings round the United midfield at the end of last year, are back to do it again.
