Manchester United XI vs Istanbul: Confirmed team news and lineup - Donny van de Beek starts

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no fresh injury worries for Manchester United’s Champions League tie against Istanbul Basaksehir today.

Summer signing Alex Telles - who used to play in Turkey for Galatasaray - cannot be selected after recently testing positive for coronavirus, while Jesse Lingard and Eric Bailly are unavailable.

That means Luke Shaw is expected to continue at left-back, though Brandon Williams could also be given minutes.

Facundo Pellistri did not travel as part of the 24-man squad, while Marcos Rojo, Sergio Romero and the injured Phil Jones will not be involved in the group stage after been omitted from the squad submitted to Uefa.

Van de Beek starts for United, with Dean Henderson also playing in goal. Axel Tuanzebe is back in defence, while Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford lead the attack.

Man Utd XI: Henderson, Wan Bissaka, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, van de Beek, Bruno Fernandes, Mata, Martial, Rashford

Subs: de Gea, Lindelof, Pogba, Cavani, Greenwood, Fred, James, Fosu-Mensah, Ighalo, Williams, McTominay, Mengi

Istanbul Basaksehir XI: Gunok, Da Silva, Skrtel, Epureanu, Bolingoli Mbombo, Aleksic, Kahveci, Visca, Ozcan, Turuc, Ba

Subs: Babacan, Topal, Kivanc, Giuliano, Gulbrandsen, Ponck, Kaplan, Karakus

Referee: Davide Massa
