David de Gea starts as Manchester United fans demand three changes to line-up vs Fulham

Manchester United fans have urged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to recall David de Gea as one of three changes to the Manchester United XI to face Fulham.

United return to Premier League action for their penultimate match of the domestic season after back-to-back defeats at Old Trafford.

Supporters will be welcomed back into the stadium for the first time in over 12 months, in what promises to be an intense atmosphere after recent protests against the Glazers.

While mass changes were made against Leicester, United were off the pace against Liverpool in their last outing, with a full-strength side restored.

Henderson came under scrutiny, in particular, for his role in Liverpool's third and fourth goals. As a result, United fans want to see De Gea restored in goal. The Spaniard started against Leicester in the heavily-rotated XI but hadn't started a Premier League match since February before then.

De Gea has remained active in the Europa League, with Solskjaer facing a dilemma over which goalkeeper should start in next week's final against Villarreal.

In defence, Axel Tuanzebe is preferred to Eric Bailly, with Harry Maguire still out injured. Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw retain their starting berths.

There's a reshuffle in midfield with Fred dropping out the XI after a below-par display against Liverpool. Paul Pogba moves back into central midfield, allowing Mason Greenwood to return in attack alongside Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford.

OUT: Henderson, Bailly, Fred

IN: De Gea, Tuanzebe, Greenwood
