Manchester United vs Crystal Palace

Donny van de Beek starts on the bench for Manchester United in Saturday's Premier League opener against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

The £39m summer arrival from Ajax will have to wait for his full Manchester United debut, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opting for midfield trio of Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay.

Daniel James partners Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial in attack, with Mason Greenwood joining Van de Beek on a substitutes' bench that features former Eagles defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

For Palace, Mamadou Sakho replaces Scott Dann in the only change from opening-day 1-0 victory over Southampton.

Wilfried Zaha captain the Eagles for the first time competitively against his former club, while summer signings Michy Batshuyai and Eberechi Eze have to make do with a place on the bench at Old Trafford.
