There are a few old friends in the PAOK squad. The most notable for United fans is Shola Shoretire, the 20-year-old winger having joined PAOK in the summer after his Old Trafford contract ran out. He’s on the bench. Baba Rahman, formerly of Chelsea, and Wolves defender Jonny start, while another one-time Pensioner, Tiémoué Bakayoko, is a sub. There’s no room at all for erstwhile Southampton and Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren, though.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s penultimate starting selection as interim manager of Manchester United sees the beloved former striker make three changes in the wake of the 1-1 draw with Chelsea. Victor Lindelöf and Jonny Evans replace Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez at the back, while Amad Diallo comes in for Marcus Rashford up front. All three displaced players are on the bench.
