Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has named his team to take on Melbourne Victory in the second game of Tour 2022.

The manager is without David De Gea so Tom Heaton, who replaced the Spaniard in the second half against Liverpool, starts in goal.

Harry Maguire is fit again, and takes on the captain's armband, as he partners Victor Lindelof, with Raphael Varane absent from the matchday squad.

Anthony Elanga starts with the only question which flank he and Jadon Sancho, who opened our goal account on Tour 2022, will operate on.

Those are three changes to the first XI the boss picked, for the 4-0 win over the Merseysiders on Tuesday.

Young centre-back Will Fish, who has been flown over to Australia, is among the substitutes.

United: Heaton; Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire (c), Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Martial.

Subs: Bishop, Kovar; Bailly, Fish, Laird, Malacia, Telles, Wan-Bissaka; Amad, Hannibal, Iqbal, Savage, van de Beek, Pellistri; Chong, Garnacho, Rashford.

Every pre-season game - including Melbourne Victory (11:05 BST kick-off) - will be shown live on the Man Utd App and on ManUtd.com.
