Team News: Marcus Rashford on Manchester United bench

Rashford on United bench

Marcus Rashford starts on the bench as Manchester United travel to Huddersfield Town this afternoon.

In all, Jose Mourinho makes two changes from the XI that started their goalless draw with Liverpool last weekend, as Romelu Lukaku continues to lead the line with support from Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata.

Rashford limped off during United's 1-0 win at Benfica in the Champions League in midweek but is passed fit enough to start among the substitutes this afternoon.

Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic continue their partnership in defensive midfield, while Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young are on either side of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones in the back four.

As for the hosts, David Wagner makes three alterations following the 2-0 defeat at Swansea City last time out, although Laurent Depoitre keeps his place up front.

Aaron Mooy replaces Rajiv van La Parra alongside Tom Ince and Elias Kachunga in attacking midfield, while Danny Williams comes in for Philip Billing as partner for Jonathan Hogg in front of the back four.

There is one change in the defence, with Chris Lowe usurping Scott Malone to link up with Christopher Schindler, Mathias Jorgensen and Tommy Smith.

Huddersfield Town: Lossl; Lowe, Schindler, Jorgensen, Smith; Hogg, Williams; Ince, Mooy, Kachunga; Depoitre Subs: Coleman, Malone, Sabiri, Cranie, van La Parra, Mounie, Hadergjonaj

Manchester United: De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Jones, Young; Herrera, Matic; Lingard, Mata, Martial; Lukaku Subs: Romero, Blind, Darmian, Lindelof, McTominay, Rashford
