Team News: Ryan Giggs leaves out Juan Mata for Manchester United's game against Norwich City

Giggs leaves out Mata

Ryan Giggs has left Juan Mata on the bench in his first game in charge of Manchester United this evening against Norwich City.

Mata's omission is one of six changes by Giggs as he shakes up the side following this week's departure of manager David Moyes.

Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra, Antonio Valencia, Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck all come into the side, with Marouane Fellaini and Adnan Januzaj not in the squad at all.

For visitors Norwich, now in the bottom three as things stand, Neil Adams makes just one change to the side that were edged out by Liverpool last weekend.

Ricky van Wolfswinkel gets the nod over Gary Hooper in attack.

Man Utd: De Gea; Jones, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Kagawa; Welbeck, Rooney Subs: Lindegaard, Smalling, Mata, Chicharito, Nani, Young, Fletcher

Norwich: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin, Turner, Olsson; Johnson; Fer, Howson; Snodgrass, Redmond; Van Wolfswinkel Subs: Bunn, Hooper, Gutierrez, Elmander, R Bennett, Tettey, Josh Murphy
