Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made five changes to the side that eased past Fulham last weekend as Manchester United prepare to take on PSG in the UEFA Champions League.

David de Gea has retained his place in the Manchester United goal, but has relinquished the captain’s armband, which will be taken by Ashley Young against PSG. The veteran Englishman is one of three changes in the back four, with Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly returning as well, while Luke Shaw keeps his place as the left-back.

There are no changes in midfield, with Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic keeping their places. Up ahead in attack, however, Solskjaer has made a couple of shuffles, with Juan Mata and Romelu Lukaku dropping to the bench.

In the duo’s stead, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford have been named in the starting lineup, with the latter leading the line for Manchester United against PSG. Meanwhile, Anthony Martial keeps his place in the side, with Alexis Sanchez still benched.
