Man United XI v Sociedad: Team news and starting lineup - Bruno Fernandes captain; Amad Diallo, Shoretire subs

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made plenty of changes this evening as his Manchester United side look to finish the job in their Europa League tie against Real Sociedad.

A 4-0 first-leg thumping leaves United with one foot in the last-16 stage.

Donny van de Beek and Edinson Cavani join Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay on the sidelines, leaving United with a youthful bench with the likes of Amad Diallo, Shola Shoretire, Axel Tuanzebe, Brandon Williams and Ethan Galbraith, with Nathan Bishop one of three goalkeepers named as substitutes behind Dean Henderson.

Harry Maguire is a booking away from suspension so is not risked, meaning Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof start at centre-back with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alex Telles at wing-back.

Fred and Nemanja Matic start in midfield, while Bruno Fernandes captains the side as something of a surprise starter.

Mason Greenwood and Dan James flank Bruno behind lone striker Anthony Martial to complete the starting XI.

Manchester United lineup: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Lindelof, Telles; Fred, Matic; Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, James; Martial

Subs: De Gea, Grant, Bishop, Maguire, Rashford, Diallo, Shaw, Williams, Tuanzebe, Galbraith, Shoretire

Injury list: Donny van de Beek, Edinson Cavani, Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Phil Jones
