Manchester United have welcomed back Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard to the starting lineup for the Europa League encounter against Partizan Belgrade.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made as many as seven changes to the team that started at the weekend against Liverpool for the trip to Serbia. Sergio Romero gets the nod in goal with David de Gea rested for the clash.

Solskjaer has stuck with the three-man backline once again, but there is one change with Victor Lindelof making way for Phil Jones. Harry Maguire and Marcos Rojo hold on to their spots in the side, with the former being named the Manchester United captain for the night.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka continues as the right wing-back, while academy product Brandon Williams comes in on the opposite side, in place of Ashley Young, who has been rested. Scott McTominay features in the middle of the park once again, but is partnered by fellow academy product James Garner, with Fred dropping to the bench.

Juan Mata gets the nod as the playmaker for Manchester United, while Anthony Martial starts in attack after returning from an eight-week injury layoff at the weekend. Jesse Lingard, who missed the last two matches with injury, also returns to the side, partnering Martial in the United attack. Daniel James, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood are all named among the subs.
