Manchester United are set to take on Leeds United in an intriguing pre-season friendly in Dublin today.
With the Premier League season less than a fortnight away, manager Michael Carrick is expected to name a strong starting XI as he fine-tunes his plans for the opening day.
Several players have only just joined the training camp in Ireland, meaning this fixture could have arrived too soon for them to feature.
We expect Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez to make their first appearances of the summer against AC Milan on August 15.
Goalkeeper
Senne Lammens
Lammens could finally make his first appearance of the summer for United.
It will be fascinating to see how the Belgian responds after his costly mistake against Spain in the FIFA World Cup quarter-final.
Defender
Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Ayden Heaven, Luke Shaw
Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui are expected to split the minutes, with the Portuguese defender likely to get the starting nod today.
Maguire and Heaven have been ever-present at the heart of defence, with Luke Shaw operating at left-back.
Leny Yoro and Harry Amass could get valuable game time in the second half.
Midfield
Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, Bruno Fernandes
Mount was withdrawn in the first half against PSG as a precaution after picking up a knock. He is expected to miss this showdown.
Santos will start in the number six role and could be partnered by Tielemans who featured for 25 minutes against PSG.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes should return to the number 10 position, replacing Shea Lacey.
Attack
Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo
Cunha could finally make his first appearance of the summer after missing the previous fixture through illness.
Patrick Dorgu has started on the left wing in all four pre-season games and could replace the 27-year-old after the break.
Mbeumo is expected to continue in the number nine spot, forcing Joshua Zirkzee to settle for a place on the bench.
Diallo will be eager to build on his impressive showing in the previous encounter and stake his claim for a regular starting role.
