Confirmed Man United XI vs Brighton and Hove Albion: Luke Shaw missing

Interim Manchester United head coach Darren Fletcher has made xx changes to his starting XI for today’s FA Cup third round clash with Brighton at Old Trafford.

Matthijs de Ligt is the only known injured player in the squad, but Noussair Mazraoui is still competing at the Africa Cup of Nations for Morocco. Whether Shaw is also injured or just rested is as yet unclear.

Amad and Bryan Mbeumo have both been knocked out of the competition at the quarter-final stage, but Fletcher said at the pre-match press conference that the turnaround time was too short to allow them to compete today.

Both of Fletcher’s twin sons, Jack and Tyler, are in the squad for what could be their father’s last game in charge.

Senne Lammens is in goal.

The back four are Diogo Dalot , Lisandro Martinez and Patrick Dorgu.

Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes are once again the midfield trio.

In attack, Ben Sesko leads the line following his superb brace against Burnley on Wednesday. He will be flanked by Mateus Cunha and Mason Mount .

Altay Bayindir is the substitute ‘keeper.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 4.30pm.
