McTominay and Rashford out, Ronaldo and Martial in - Manchester United fans pick line-up vs Omonia

Manchester United fans want to see six changes when their side returns to action in the Europa League away to Omonia Nicosia.

Erik ten Hag will be looking for a response from his players after a devastating defeat to Manchester City on Sunday. Very few of the starting line-up at the Etihad last weekend came away with any sort of credit following the debacle and United fans believe that several changes are needed to return to winning ways.

Omonia Nicosia lie bottom of the Reds' Europa League group and Ten Hag will be hopeful of three points to keep pace with leaders Real Sociedad. MEN Sport asked fans to pick the team they want to see start vs Omonia and you can see what they came up with below:

Goalkeeper - Martin Dubravka

Should Martin Dubravka start it will be his debut for United and he will be hopeful of a good performance.

Defenders - Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw

One change at the back from Sunday's fixture has been enforced with Raphael Varane hobbling off injured after blocking a shot against City. With captain Harry Maguire also in the treatment room, Victor Lindelof is the natural option to come into the starting line-up.

Tyrell Malacia was hauled off at half-time against the Blues after a disastrous showing and his replacement that day, Luke Shaw, has been given the nod to return to the back line by United supporters.

Midfielders - Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen

Plenty of talk following the loss at the weekend surrounded Casemiro and why he was not chosen to start against Pep Guardiola's team. United fans will be hoping that Ten Hag rectifies this tonight as the ex-Real Madrid midfielder comes in for the player whose performances were keeping him out of the starting line-up prior to City, Scott McTominay.

Despite switching off for Phil Foden's first goal, Christian Eriksen is given the benefit of the doubt while Bruno Fernandes also keeps his place.

Forwards - Antony, Cristiano Ronaldo, Anthony Martial

Ten Hag explained post-match that Cristiano Ronaldo was kept on the bench against City partly out of 'respect' for his career. The Portuguese ace scored last time United were in Europa League action, away to FC Sheriff.

He is joined in attack by the two men who may have come away from City thinking they did their jobs. Antony scored United's first in excellent fashion while Anthony Martial came on as a substitute to grab a brace for Ten Hag's side.
