Facundo Pellistri starts for Manchester United away at Bayern Munich in the Champions League tonight.
Erik ten Hag makes changes to the team who lost to Brighton on Saturday, though Rasmus Hojlund keeps his starting berth.

Manchester United: Erik ten Hag makes just one change to the line-up that started against Brighton on Saturday, dropping Scott McTominay to the bench and bringing in Facundo Pellistri, who starts for just the second time in a Manchester United shirt.
Signed from Penarol in Uruguay in 2020, the 21-year-old has made 13 appearances for United but spent last season on loan at Spanish club Alaves.
Bayern Munich: Harry Kane starts up front for Bayern Munich, while Joshua Kimmich has been passed fit to play in midfield. Thomas Tuchel, who is suspended for tonight’s game after being banished from the touchline in last season’s quarter-final against Manchester City, makes just change to the side that started Friday’s match against Bayer Leverkusen. Jamal Musiala comes in for Thomas Muller, who has to make do with a place on the bench.
The diamond shape did not work against Brighton, so United have reverted to a more familiar 4-3-3 shape.

Subs: Bayindir, Heaton, Vitek, Evans, Gore, Hannibal, McTominay, Forson, Garnacho, Martial
