Team News: Juan Mata back for Manchester United

Juan Mata back for United

Juan Mata has returned to Manchester United's starting XI for their FA Cup trip to Derby County this evening.

The Spaniard comes in for Ander Herrera in one of two changes from Louis van Gaal to the side that were defeated 1-0 at Old Trafford in the league last time out.

Guillermo Varela is also back in the side as he replaces Ander Herrera, who drops to the bench, at right-back.

For the hosting Rams, manager Paul Clement has fielded an unchanged XI from the side that lost 4-1 at Burnley in the Championship on Monday evening, although there is a place on the bench for new midfielder Marcus Olsson.

Derby County: Carson, Christie, Keogh, Martin, Shackell, Johnson, Butterfield, Blackman, Ince, Thorne, Warnock Subs: Grant, Bryson, Hendrick, Russell, Baird, Camara, Olsson

Manchester United: De Gea, Varela, Smalling, Blind, Borthwick-Jackson, Fellaini, Schneiderlin, Mata, Lingard, Martial, Rooney Subs: Romero, McNair, Carrick, Herrera, Januzaj, Pereira, Memphis
