Man Utd vs Astana highlights in pictures: Europa League goals and action at Old Trafford

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named a mixture of youth and fringe players in Manchester United's starting lineup for their Europa League opener against Astana at Old Trafford.

Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong will make their first United starts tonight, with 17-year-old Mason Greenwood also included up front.

Solskjaer has made nine alterations from the side that beat Leicester, with captain Nemanja Matic and Marcus Rashford the only players to retain a starting role.

Academy graduates Gomes, Chong, Greenwood and Axel Tuanzebe all start, as does Fred - the Brazilian having last started for United in the derby against Manchester City in April.
