It is Jones’s first start in the XI since the dramatic 3-3 draw at Bramall Lane against Sheffield United in November, although he did make a substitute appearance against AZ Alkmaar in the final Europa League group match at Old Trafford last month.

Jesse Lingard comes into the attacking midfield positions and Marcus Rashford is back in the starting line-up after being a sub at Wolves, where he came on for Dan James late on. Mancunian striker Rashford wears the armband, making it the first time he has captained the Reds at senior level.

The line-up includes seven players who started when United beat City 2-1 in the Premier League at the Etihad in December, with Maguire, Luke Shaw, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial, a sub this evening, being the men to miss out.

                                                                                                                                                                                                 

                    

                        

                                        

Discussing his team in a pre-match interview with MUTV, the United manager said:“Harry couldn’t make it, so was there was no point trying to make things worse. He was trying until the end, but he’s not ready.“I think with Marcus captaining the team for the first time, that’s a good night for him. For Brandon and Mason, it’s probably the biggest game they’ve played, against the best team they’ve played. But they’ve risen to every challenge we’ve given them and we felt we wanted to give the young lads a chance today. That’s part of our identity – to give young lads a chance. ”**************************
