Erik ten Hag has called Cristiano Ronaldo into Manchester United’s starting line-up to face Sheriff Tiraspol tonight.
The coach has cited three changes from the team that drew 1-1 with Chelsea on Sunday.
The defense remains the same apart from Tyrell Malacia, who replaces Luke Shaw at left back.
David de Gea, Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martínez complete the rear.
Casemiro and Cristian Eriksen also kept their positions in midfield.
Ahead of them, Antony and Bruno Fernandes keep their places, but Jadon Sancho loses to the exciting young Argentine.
Up front, Marcus Rashford makes way for Ronaldo, who missed the Chelsea match due to disciplinary action.
Another night of pride for our #MUAcademy ❤

Ten Hag has reappointed two goalkeepers on the bench: Martin Dubravka and Tom Heaton.
Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek are back from injury and also on the bench.
They are joined by Luke Shaw, Scott McTominay, Zidane Iqbal, Fred, Anthony Elanga, Facundo Pellistri and Sancho.
Complete omission of Rashford could indicate illness or injury.
The crucial tie begins at Old Trafford at 8pm.
