Manchester United vs AC Milan line up includes Marcos Rojo but no Paul Pogba

Manchester United have named their side to face AC Milan in their final pre-season game.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer takes his United side to Cardiff for their sixth pre-season friendly where they will face Italian giants AC Milan in the International Champions Cup.

United have enjoyed a successful pre-season so far with five wins from five games and will hope to continue their good run of form ahead of the new campaign.

Solskjaer has named a strong line up for the game but there is no Paul Pogba, who withdrew from the squad with a back injury cited. Marcos Rojo is given a chance to impress ahead of Harry Maguire's arrival, while David de Gea is again captain.

Romelu Lukaku is absent amid interest from Inter Milan and Juventus, while Joel Pereira and Matteo Darmian are also missing and working on their fitness at Carrington. Eric Bailly is injured and Alexis Sanchez is still not ready to return from injury.

United team: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Rojo, Shaw, Matic, McTominay, Pereira, Mata, Rashford, Martial

Subs: Romero, Grant, Dalot, Jones, Smalling, Tuanzebe, Young, Fred, Gomes, Lingard, James, Chong, Greenwood.
