Team News: Marcus Rashford not involved as Manchester United take on Fulham

Marcus Rashford has not been included in the Manchester United squad for Saturday's Premier League clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag said during Friday's press conference that it was "unacceptable" for the forward to have celebrated his birthday at a nightclub following last weekend's loss to Manchester City.

However, Rashford has failed a late fitness test rather than been left out for disciplinary reasons, Ten Hag confirmed to TNT Sports, with the Englishman said to be carrying a knock to the leg.

Alejandro Garnacho instead starts on the left, while there is a return at right-back for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is now back from a hamstring issue.

Antony plays on the right, while there is still no spot in the XI for Raphael Varane, with the Frenchman on the bench.

Varane's future is again the subject of fresh speculation, and the centre-back, who missed out against Newcastle United in the EFL Cup on Wednesday through illness, is overlooked for a start.

There is also a spot on the bench for teenage midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.

As for Fulham, head coach Marco Silva has made three changes to the side that started against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League last time out.

Harry Wilson, Andreas Pereira and Rodrigo Muniz all return, with Harrison Reed, Bobby Decordova-Reid and Raul Jimenez dropping down to the bench.

Pereira will line up against his former club, while experienced attacker Willian continues in a wide area.

Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Bassey, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Iwobi; Wilson, Pereira, Willian; Muniz Subs: Rodak, De Fougerolles, Ballo-Toure, Reed, Cairney, Lukic, De Cordova-Reid, Vinicius, Jimenez

Manchester United: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Evans, Dalot; McTominay, Eriksen, Fernandes; Antony, Hojlund, Garnacho Subs: Bayindir, Reguilon, Varane, Amrabat, Hannibal, Mainoo, Mount, Pellistri, Martial
