Dubravka and Fred start — Manchester United fans pick preferred line up vs Omonia

Manchester United will be looking to make it back to back Europa League victories when they take on Omonia Nicosia at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Erik ten Hag's side return to Old Trafford for the first time in more than a month, as United play their fourth match in Group E. The Reds won 3-2 in Cyprus last week, as they fought from 1-0 down to claim all three points.

Second-half goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial ensured United avoided a potential banana skin against former Celtic manager Neil Lennon's team. Since that victory, United secured 2-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.

United again found themselves 1-0 down in that game after Alex Iwobi's superb curling effort from the edge of the box flew past David de Gea after just five minutes. The Reds were not behind for long, as Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo both netted before the break, before a dubious VAR decision for handball denied Rashford the chance to make it three for United in the second-half.

The attention now turns back to Europe and Ten Hag certainly has a selection headache ahead of him, as he looks to rotate his starting line-up, while also ensuring he names a strong enough team to secure all three points.

Therefore, how do United fans want their side to line-up this evening? MEN Sport has taken a close look at what they have voted for using our interactive widget ( see below ).

In goal, United fans have chosen new signing Martin Dubravka to replace De Gea. A start for the Newcastle loanee would be his first appearance for the club.

At the back, supporters have opted to keep three of the four starters that lined up against Everton, with Tyrell Malacia getting the nod over Luke Shaw as the only change.

In midfield, fans have called for Fred and Scott McTominay to return to the starting XI, alongside Bruno Fernandes. With McTominay suspended for the upcoming Newcastle match and Fred short on minutes, Ten Hag could be tempted to rest Christian Eriksen and Casemiro ahead of a hectic Premier League schedule.

Up front, United supporters have made it clear that they enjoyed the pairing of Ronaldo and Antony against the Toffees, as they pick Jadon Sancho to join them on the left wing, as he hopes to get the chance to play himself back into form.

Starting line-up United fans want to see vs Omonia Nicosia: Dubravka; Dalot, Martinez, Lindelof, Malacia; Fred, McTominay, Fernandes; Antony, Ronaldo, Sancho.
