Two youngsters have been given a starting spot in Manchester United’s first pre-season tour match against Arsenal in Los Angeles tonight.
Both Harry Amass and Toby Collyer start alongside more senior players in a great chance to make a bid to break through to the first team squad after impressing manager Erik ten Hag in training.
The rest of the team is made up of senior players, as expected.
Andre Onana is in goal.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka plays at right back.
New signing Leny Yoro gets another start at centre back alongside Harry Maguire.
Amass starts at left back.
Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot, Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez are still on holiday after their international involvements. Tyrell Malacia stayed behind in Manchester to continue his rehabilitation after a season-long injury.
In midfield, Casemiro gets another start and is joined by Collyer. Mason Mount plays in the number 10 position.
Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes are also still on holiday.
Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo occupy the wing positions and Rasmus Hojlund returns from his holiday to take up the centre forward role.
Another new signing, Josh Zirkzee, is still on holiday.
Ten Hag is expected to field a completely different outfield team in the second half, with the likes of Sam Murray, Rhys Bennet, Jonny Evans, Will Fish, Hannibal, Sam Mather, James Scanlon, Scott McTominay, Jack Fletcher, Maxi Oyedele, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Ethan Wheatley all likely to feature.
Victor Lindelof was not named among the subs as he has not recovered from the knock that kept him out of the previous match vs. Rangers. The substitute keepers are Tom Heaton and Radek Vitek.
Kick off at the Sofi Stadium is at 1am BST.
