Team news: Ralf announces side to face Watford
Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has made four changes to his starting XI for this afternoon's game against Watford in the Premier League, from the side that was named for the midweek trip to Atletico Madrid.
United picked up a vital 1-1 draw in Spain in the first leg of the Champions League last Wednesday and Rangnick has rewarded some of the subs he used in the Wanda Metropolitano by naming them in his starting line-up against Watford.
Anthony Elanga, who scored our equaliser in Madrid, starts in attack in place of Marcus Rashford. In defence Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alex Telles replace Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw in the back four with Victor Lindelof set to take up his normal central defensive place alongside Raphael Varane, having played at right back in Spain.
Nemanja Matic forms part of the midfield against the Hornets after his influential sub introduction against Atletico. With Maguire on the bench, Rangnick has named Bruno Fernandes as his captain.
UNITED XI TO FACE WATFORD
United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Telles; Fred, Matic; Elanga, Fernandes (c), Pogba; Ronaldo.
Subs: Henderson, Dalot, Jones, Maguire, Shaw, Mata, Lingard, Sancho, Rashford.
