Manchester United starting line up vs Astana includes Dylan Levitt and Mason Greenwood

Manchester United's starting line-up against Astana has been confirmed.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has handed out four first senior starts for the final away game in the Europa League group stages with Dylan Levitt, Ethan Laird and Di'Shon Bernard all given their first team debuts while goalkeeper Lee Grant has been handed his first start having only appeared once for United previously, off the bench in the league cup.

There's the potential for another three first team debuts too with Solskjaer naming a young bench for the clash. Jesse Lingard captains the side while senior players Luke Shaw and Axel Tuanzebe are included as they look to return to full fitness after recent injuries.

United have already qualified for the knockout rounds of the competitions but will be looking for a victory on Thursday night to help push them towards securing top spot in the group. A win for Solskjaer's side and defeat or a draw for Alkmaar against Partizan would see United qualify as group winners.

United's starting XI: Grant, Laird, Tuanzebe, Bernard, Shaw, Levitt, Garner, Gomes, Lingard, Chong, Greenwood

Substitutes: Kovar, Taylor, Mengi, Galbraith, Puigmal, Mellor, Ramazani
