Manchester United welcome UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov for Premier League fixture against Everton

Khabib Nurmagomedov is at Old Trafford to watch Manchester United play Everton on Saturday afternoon.

The UFC champion has been pictured with Cristiano Ronaldo in the past and Khabib might be surprised he's not starting today.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team selection has proved controversial with supporters on social media with the United boss making five changes from the team that beat Villarreal and Ronaldo's omission from the starting line-up is certainly a surprise.

Anthony Martial has also been given the nod to make the starting line-up, which has caused some bemusement.

Khabib retired from the UFC this year with an undefeated record and he'll be hoping United can back to winning ways in the league.

United beat Villarreal 2-1 in midweek and they're aiming to secure consecutive home wins this weekend.

Interestingly, Khabib recently claimed Ronaldo told him he would rejoin United well before his sensational comeback was made official.
