Ruben Amorim has announced his starting line-up for Manchester United’s fixture with Everton.
After a long international break, Manchester United are finally back in action. The team are looking to get back to winning ways after two successive draws.
United are unbeaten in the last five games, and have won four consecutive home matches, in a separate impressive streak. David Moyes‘ Everton stand in our way.
Ruben Amorim has had to rejig his starting XI, due to Benjamin Sesko’s injury. Here is a look at the team he has selected.

Matheus Cunha misses out altogether after sustaining an injury in training at the weekend.
Shea Lacey is a notable name on the bench, with the promising youngster aiming to make his debut.
Joshua Zirkzee starts up front for the first time this season, with Chido Obi missing out on the squad.
Manchester United’s last home fixture was the 4-2 victory over Brighton. Last season we beat Everton 4-0 at Old Trafford, although they have changed managers since.
A victory tonight can take United into fourth or fifth place in the Premier League table, depending on goal difference.
Everton did spoil the party in pre-season, holding United to a 2-2 draw, the same scoreline as when the teams met at Goodison Park late last season.
