Ole explains the starting XI v Brighton
Apologies for the sound - it's pouring down! - but Ole has explained the team and why Harry Maguire is missing...
Speaking to MUTV about the changes, Ole said: "We need to give minutes to players and have a chance to stake a claim in the league game on Sunday. Of course, I feel it’s a strong team as well. We knew Brighton were going to be difficult opposition, probably going to step up their cup team by a couple, but I’m looking forward to this one."
The boss also revealed captain Harry Maguire is unavailable through injury. "He’s got a little knock," confirmed Ole. "But he’ll be okay."
