Manchester United line up vs Crystal Palace includes Daniel James and Paul Pogba

Manchester United have named an unchanged team from the side that drew with Wolves on Monday night.

For today's , Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stuck with the players who performed brightly at Molineux, with Daniel James making his full home debut on the right flank and Jesse Lingard keeping his place in the No.10 role.

Paul Pogba again starts in a slightly deeper midfield role, after missing a penalty in last week's 1-1 draw at Wolves. He is again alongside Scott McTominay, while Anthony Martial continues to lead the line in the No.9 role after two goals in two games so far.

United's back five is also the same that started the games against Chelsea and Wolves, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka facing his former club and Harry Maguire making his third United start.

In his programme notes, Solskjaer called for United to continue in a similar vein to their opening two performances.

"We have shown a lot of maturity in our opening games," he said. "I want to see more of what we've already shown this season.

"I want us to keep playing dynamic, exciting football with attacking intentions and solid defending. I want everyone to be entertained."

Former United winger Wilfried Zaha starts for Palace, who also introduce former Chelsea defender Gary Cahill after his summer move from Stamford Bridge.

United team: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba; James, Lingard, Rashford; Martial.

Subs: Romero, Tuanzebe, Young, Matic, Pereira, Mata, Greenwood.
