Juan Mata has returned to the Manchester United starting lineup for today's visit of Everton in the Premier League.

The Spaniard replaces the suspended Wayne Rooney following the United captain's red card during last weekend's 2-1 win over West Ham United.

Louis van Gaal has made one other change to his XI as Antonio Valencia replaces the injured Ander Herrera. Meanwhile, Robin van Persie partners Radamel Falcao up front.
