Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's starting lineup for Manchester United against Kristiansund offers a strong indicator of how the Red Devils intend to line up for the new season.
With the new campaign fast approaching, United have just two pre-season games remaining before facing off against Chelsea in their Premier League opener at Old Trafford on August 11.
United head to Oslo to face Solskjaer's hometown club Kristiansund, and return from the Norwegian capital to take on AC Milan in Cardiff on Saturday.
Solskjaer has named a strong 4-2-3-1 formation with Daniel James, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in attack.
Paul Pogba is on the bench, with Nemanja Matic and Scott Mctominay in midfield.
With Eric Bailly out injured, Phil Jones starts alongside Victor Lindelof in defence, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw at wing-back - a likely back four to face Chelsea.
Romelu Lukaku was the notable absentee from the tour squad - the Belgian striker has been linked with a move to either Inter Milan on Juventus this summer, and there was no mention of his absence from the squad on United's official team news update on Monday morning.
Matteo Darmian was also left out with the Italian full-back free to seek a new club.
Mason Greenwood's impressive performances this summer have put him in with a chance of being an early-season starter, though Solskjaer may opt to use the academy graduate as an impact substitute given his speed and finishing ability in off the flanks.
There could also be a family tie to the game with Solskjaer's 19-year-old son Noah pushing for a role in the Kristiansund first-team, with Michelson hinting that the midfielder - whose role model is Michael Carrick - is in his thoughts for the friendly.
