Team News: Fred, Anthony Elanga start for Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion

Fred, Elanga start for Man United against Brighton

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has made two changes to his starting XI for Tuesday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

Fred, who is back from COVID-19, comes into the midfield in place of Paul Pogba, while Anthony Elanga takes the place of Marcus Rashford for the match against Graham Potter's side.

Harry Maguire has faced a host of criticism in recent weeks, but the centre-back retains his spot in the XI and will again wear the captain's armband on Tuesday night.

Luke Shaw also keeps his position at left-back despite the return of Alex Telles, while Cristiano Ronaldo will again lead the line despite his scoring issues in recent weeks.

A strong bench also includes Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata, but Edinson Cavani is still unavailable for selection due to a groin problem.

A win for Man United, who have drawn their last two league games against Burnley and Southampton, would take them back into fourth position in the Premier League table.

A late change to the side saw Victor Lindelof come in for Raphael Varane, who was forced to pull out through illness.

Man United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo
