Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League tussle with Everton at Goodison Park this evening, making a handful of changes
United, who were beaten 1-0 on their last visit to the blue half of Merseyside, will be looking to build on Thursday night's 3-2 win over Omonia Nicosia and make it back-to-back wins. The Reds, who failed to beat the Toffees home and away last term, recovered from a goal down to win 3-2 in Cyprus, courtesy of some inspired substitutions from Ten Hag.
It means that the Dutchman will be desperate to see United get back to winning ways in the league this evening, following last Sunday's horror show against City in the Manchester derby. Ten Hag, unsurprisingly, has mixed things up following Thursday night's triumph, making three changes to his side.

Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, who scored twice against Omonia, have come into the side, meaning Tyrell Malacia, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo have dropped out. Casemiro has retained his place to earn his first Premier League start for United.
Meanwhile, Raphael Varane, who missed the trip to Cyprus through injury, Scott McTominay, Sancho and Ronaldo have been named among the substitutes. Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek miss out through injury once again.
Having made three changes to his side, Ten Hag will be hoping it has the desired impact as United go in search of a fifth win in their last six league matches. It is the inclusion of Martial that has attracted the most attention from United's supporters in the immediate aftermath of the team news being confirmed.
Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what some of United's supporters have had to say in response to Ten Hag's decision to hand the Frenchman his first start of the campaign.
As you can see from the messages displayed in the tweets above, Ten Hag's decision to award Martial his first start of the campaign has gone down well, particularly due to the fact he is linking up with Antony and Rashford in attack. The former AS Monaco man has netted three goals in his last two games when coming off the bench.
United starting line-up: De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes; Antony, Martial, Rashford.
Substitutes: Heaton, Malacia, Varane, Fred, McTominay, Elanga, Sancho, Pellistri, Ronaldo.
